A cool, formal courtyard features a slate water wall, with olive trees and bamboo adding to the restful feel.

A herb garden is located close to the kitchen. Crisp box hedges contain beds of billowing herbs, and beautifully detailed brick paving surround a central bay tree.

The pergola is planted with roses, evergreen jasmine Trachelospermum jasminoides, and lavender, to provide a scented walkway.

Brick steps have been designed with tile on edge risers, to reflect the tile detailing of the house.
