Sociable living
There’s a relaxed vibe to Walnut Tree House. Throughout, the modern farmhouse style mixes an up to date colour pallet with classic features such as the reassuringly solid handcrafted pine dining table.
After a few tunes on the digital piano, it’s time for pre-dinner drinks on the 12m patio, where the garden stretches before you, giving way to a walnut tree orchard. When the sun sets, there’s no better place to be on a summer’s evening.
