The main garden lies to the back of the house and has an expanse of lawn by the courtyard and the burn - the garden is enclosed by a stone wall and also features ample storage space in the outbuildings. To the south of the garden is around 0.65 acres of hill land which is bordered by the burn and provides access to fantastic hillwalking.
