The central island doubles as a breakfast bar with seating for four, perfect for casual bites. When it's time to dine, step outside into a blooming backyard garden, where roses and a stately magnolia tree set the scene for relaxation. Fire up the BBQ and gather around the outdoor dining table for six to savour meals under the open sky.
