The classic period house is complemented by its perfect position in the well thought out formal gardens which extend to a paddock and some pasture with a lake. From the garden room terrace, the formal lawn runs away from the house to a series of gardens which are interspersed with naturally fed water features that are fed from a series of streams, rills and a well with flowerbeds and a small arboretum. To the southern end of the lawn is a large yew hedge forming a natural border and has a door leading to the Churchyard. The rill runs through to a spectacular potager into an end pond enhanced by four medlar trees. The potager is overlooked by a stone summer house. Beyond this is the orchard with pear, cherry, apple. Quince and plum trees and beyond that a small arboretum and paddock with a large pond.

The cricket field and pavilion are in front of the house across the village lane. The cricket ground and pavilion are used by local cricket clubs with the permission of the owners on an annual basis.

Separated from the main house, there is a 50 acre block of woodland with mixed decidious trees including Ash and Birch. A public footpath skirts the edge of the wood but there is no public footpath through the wood. There is a right of way up the track for vehicle access to the wood for the owner of the woodland.
