OUTSIDE The property is approached via a wide sweeping tree lined drive with a most impressive approach to the front of the house where there is a large gravelled parking and turning area. The gardens were laid out at the time that the extension to the house was made in 1935 and have extensive areas of stone walling, terracing and abundant planting. There is an elevated lawn to the right of the gravel driveway, formal rose beds and Yew hedging in the Arts and Crafts manner. Alongside is an area of azaleas and rhododendrons which offer spectacular colour in the Spring. A grove of mature Beech trees lined beyond with paths cut through the lawns to an impressive mound (ancient monument), which has an ancient Yew Tree on top of it. Alongside it is a hard surfaced Tennis Court which requires re-surfacing. Various paddocks with stable block offering three loose boxes, each about 4.3m x 4.3m. Beyond is a studio, garage and woodshed which is well screened from the house.

. To the west of the house is a most attractive walled patio area at library level which is a sun trap and off which is a further area of lawn with Yew hedging and formal rose bed. The house is set in mature planting and trees which provide a good screen from other properties and from the roadway below. There are a series of paths which lead around the St. Mauritius Church to the south which forms a pretty back drop to the property. There are various terraces with lawns, mature cherry, magnolia, Yew hedges running around the flag stone terrace with thickly planted mature shrubs and lower lawn fronted by tall Yew and coniferous hedge. There is a large paddock over the stables and adjoining the grove.
