To the opposite side of the house there is a kitchen garden, featuring a variety of dug and raised beds, a greenhouse and polytunnels. A lawn to the rear is bordered by mature trees and shrub borders. The grounds of about 7.5 acres include paddocks suitable for grazing enclosed by wooden panel fencing and an ornamental pond.
