Outside, the house is situated within enclosed, mainly lawned gardens to the front and side whilst the 3 Stables to the rear open out onto part of the Farmyard opposite the Dutch Barn. To the side of the house is an open fronted Car Port. On the western side of the garden is part of a large natural Pond and an old Garage about 4m x 2m.
