Within this area is the decked patio with curved perimeter that overhangs an ornamental lily pond. The roaming paving extends from the decking, around the pond to a where the BBQ is currently situated. From here you pass through an arch and trellis fence to pass alongside the greenhouse.

Alongside the garage there is an outside storage area for refuse bins and the like. This area is contained within two gates therefore obscuring the contents from view.
