Outside the grounds come to around 2.2 acres. The gardens are well stocked and contain a number of mature shrubs and trees. There is a wide paved terrace to the rear of the property which leads onto further substantial lawned gardens with mature trees and borders, which lead onto the adjoining paddock. The house also has garaging for three cars and stables.
The village of Costock lies between Nottingham and Loughborough and has good local amenities, more of which can be found in nearby East Leake. Loughborough is just over six miles distant and Leicester is 19 miles.
