The Mill House is accessed off Mill Lane, via an electrically operated 5 bar gate which opens onto a tarmacadam drive, beside which is a triangular grassed area in front of the neighbouring dwelling, which leads past the house to a parking and turning area against the rear elevation. To the side is the garage and office building. This is attached to the neighbouring dwelling and comprises a double garage, having an electric up and over door, and self contained office. This is centrally heated and has two rooms accessed off an entrance hall. The office was purpose built and provides excellent ancillary accommodation to the main house.

The front garden is laid to lawn and extremely private with several mature shrubs and trees to include holly, rhododendrons and silver birch, beneath which is a separate 5 bar gate opening onto Mill Lane. The summerhouse is excluded unless otherwise agreed.
To the rear a circular patio with former mill stone within, which offers a particularly private and attractive seating area. Beyond he parking area is the stream and waterfall, with bridge from he drive to the main gardens. The stream is bunded by retaining walls, and provides a lovely water feature particularly against the backdrop of the waterfall. The gardens comprise a wide lawn which is sheltered by mature trees & hedges, to include a rare metasequoia and numerous rhododendrons, and at the end of which a set of sandstone steps leads to a further lawn. Beyond is a garden shed and path leading towards the stream and over into woodland.
