Antique Limestone Garden Steps to a Pool Terrace

Photographed descending between whitewashed walls toward a pool terrace, this run of reclaimed limestone steps is cut low and broad in a cool grey stone that has already weathered outdoors for generations. Scrolled wrought iron brackets carry a handrail along the right hand wall, and small recessed lights are set into the left. Beyond the flight the terrace opens onto a terracotta roofed poolhouse and paving in the same family of tones. Available to buy, these steps suit garden descents, pool surrounds, terraced hillsides and Mediterranean exteriors where the stone has to live outside.
