The gardens at Carlton Hall are a testament to many years of planning and management. A croquet lawn sits below the stone veranda and forms the centrepiece, flanked by herbaceous borders, wildflower areas, sweeping lawns, clipped hedges and scattered parkland trees, including a magnificent copper beech. A range of brick-built outbuildings lie to the east of the house, and these include the original dovecote, the stables, and a variety of useful stores that offer potential for future development (subject to consents). The entire garden is walled with mature trees, including fruit trees, and shrubs along much of the perimeter. A five bar gate in a low stone wall opens into a large paddock and further fields enclosed by post and rail fencing.
