In 2012, the owners purchased the neighbouring field to create a sizeable garden with field area. The garden blends seamlessly into the field which has been planted with a variety of trees including horse chestnut, cherry trees, multi-stemmed birch and walnut. Cow slips and wild orchids can be found in the meadow grass and there is a small wildlife pond. There are six raised beds and a fruit cage, and a small orchard. A gravelled and paved area abuts the house sheltered by a trellis with a grape vine. The whole rear garden is rabbit fenced and fully enclosed for dogs.

The garden room was built in 2023 as part of the extensive renovations. It is fully insulated with double glazed windows and French windows opening west onto the sunny paved terrace where there are outdoor sockets. The small garage/workshop has power and light.
