The grounds take full advantage of the far reaching westerly countryside views, with numerous excellent vantage points from which to enjoy the outlook. Immediately behind the house a York stone paved terrace borders the conservatory, incorporating a raised pond and planting terrace. From here, steps rise to a level lawn with a York stone path and gravelled border.
Beyond this, the lower lawn slopes gently down to a wooded, mainly evergreen area, adding depth and seasonal interest. There is a professionally installed zip wire running through the woodland, together with a double swing. A raised rockery is set into the bank, while further York stone steps lead up to an upper lawn surrounded by mature trees and shrubs. In all, the gardens and grounds extend to about 1.66 acres.
