At the front of the house is a large gravel driveway which is entered through two stone pillars. There is plenty of space for parking and access to the outbuilding from here. The garden wraps around the house from west to north and benefits from the sun for most of the day. The garden is mainly laid to lawn but is bound by mature and well-kept borders with well-established plants, shrubs and trees which provide shelter and privacy. A low stone wall encloses the property and on the west side of the house is a garden room overlooking the lawn.

The outbuilding on the south side of the house forms most of the southern boundary. The building is stone built and has space for three stables, as well as a tack room and feed room, which are currently used for storage and at the far end of the building is a home gym.
