The landscaped gardens are designed for year-round enjoyment, offering a series of defined seating areas to the front, rear and side that follow the sun from morning to evening. Each space provides privacy and a different perspective on the surrounding scenery. The front garden is mainly laid to lawn and is enhanced by mature trees and shrubbery, offering excellent privacy. A paved patio beside the front door provides a sun-filled seating area. There is gated access to the rear of the property. The rear garden enjoys spectacular and uninterrupted views over the harbour below. A large stone-laid patio leads down to a tiered garden with an additional seating terrace, all enclosed by mature trees and boundary walls. Further on from the seating area in the lower garden, a path winds through the shrubbery which leads to a covered viewing area which looks over the water.
