Outside are stables and an attractive small stone barn workshop with a store, feed room and hayloft. The gardens have been professionally landscaped and remain in keeping with the original style of the property. To the front is a flagstone terrace and beyond is a central water feature. Down one side is a parterre lavender garden with a central obelisk. An area of wild garden and a productive vegetable garden lie further on: the land comes to just under seven acres with a six acre paddock.
