There are well-kept lawns with gravelled borders and a host of plant and shrub species, before the gardens give way to the land and equestrian facilities.

To the side of the house is a substantial outbuilding which incorporates four stables, a feed store, tack room, hay store and vast workshop. Everything is maintained with great care and attention, with the stables presented in beautiful condition.
