The front garden has a herbaceous border stocked with a number of shrubs including hydrangea, azalea, buddleia and forsythia. Alongside is a paved terrace sheltered from the road by a high mature hedge.
The gardens are principally situated at the rear of the house with a terrace adjoining the property, leading onto a level area of lawn with circular rose garden under-planted with Spring bulbs including hyacinths, daffodils, primroses. The garden is extremely well stocked with shrubs including choisya, camellia, buddleia, tree peony, magnolia stellata. There is an ornamental pond and mature oak and beech trees. The garden is a beautiful backdrop to the property and enjoys a great deal of privacy, being separated from the neighbour by a high brick wall with an adjoining garden room which has work surfaces with cupboards beneath. Sheltered at the rear of the garden is a shed and the oil tank.
The former orchard can be approached either from the driveway through an aluminium gate or from the garden and is laid to pasture with a good number of mature pear trees. This is enclosed by stock fencing and is currently being grazed by sheep and extends to about 2.3 acres.
