The garden grounds are extensive with an area of native woodland to the front. To the side is a large walled garden which is overgrown but was formerly a productive fruit garden.
The main garden is mainly laid to lawn with a dilapidated pond area in the centre.
There is a second area of lawned garden which sits away from the property and this was the former campsite. There is a block-built building which has been upgraded and is now used as a workshop, this is the old shower block and could easily be restored to this.
This area is also an ideal pony paddock or could be used for hobby farming.
To the side there is a stone steading which has two storerooms and a gardener’s toilet. This is a former stable and could be used as such again.
