The gardens of a little under 1.5 acres have been landscaped and include a large level lawn bordered by clipped yew hedge behind which is a fruit and vegetable garden. Other features include a gravel garden where roses climb a Cotswold stone wall.

There is a small paddock located on the opposite side of teh lane alongside a detached coach house with a room above and parking directly in front.
