Immediately abutting the house are two well placed terrace areas designed with entertaining in mind. The remainder of the grounds are predominately expansive areas of lawn with an abundance of well-established trees, mature shrubs/foliage, well stocked flowering beds and a pond that formed part of a three-tier pumped system, all of which helps create a wonderfully idyllic setting and degree of privacy. The current owners have preferred to let nature flourish, but keen gardeners could soon restore a more formally landscaped setting if desired.
