The land is bordered by woodland, making it a haven for birds and wildlife, adding to the natural beauty of the surroundings. A path leads through the woods at the side of the property over to the A96 east of Alves.
The catchment primary school is Alves, which is a highly desirable small primary school with composite classes. The Alves village hall is within walking distance offering a wide range of social activities.
