Outdoor kitchen in Ashby, Leicestershire
The luxurious feel of this space is not limited to the outdoor kitchen. The landscape wraps around the back of the property and has been split into zones which flow seamlessly from one area to the next.
To one side, a TV mounted on a slatted back panel of the pergola heads a bar table surrounded by plush bar stools. The firepit table centrepiece complements the lighting that borders the structure, giving a warm feel that makes this the perfect place to socialise late into the night.
This zone leads out onto the patio which is home to the outdoor kitchen. The Gusto Charcoal BBQ is ideal for slow-cooking cuts of meat. Throw on a beef brisket and leave it to cook for hours while the appliance enriches the food with a depth of smokiness. The Bull Gas Grill is easy to use and incredibly convenient. Utilising its ‘Reliabull’ technology for even heat distribution, this BBQ ensures even cooking across the grill, every time. For immediate thirst-quenching, the outdoor fridge can be fully stocked at all times, meaning there is no need to head back into the house when a glass needs filling up. Opting for the single fridge and bin unit allows for the layout to be kept tidy, looking picture-perfect at all times.

The kitchen is part of what can only be described as the ultimate outdoor living zone and a space that guests are never going to want to leave. The space not only features a Grillo Outdoor Kitchen, but also a large corner sofa, an eight-seater dining table and chairs, a ping pong table and, what some argue is the epitome of luxury; a hot tub. Although these components create a holistic zone, material choices, such as the decking and patio, have helped to create distinctions between the elements, allowing furniture pieces to be admired individually and not just in relation to others.
The final section of this garden has been designed specifically with children in mind. The zone features a climbing frame and slide, providing hours of entertainment. However, the clever design of this space conceals the frame, which some would describe as an ‘eye-sore’, down the side of the property.
