There is planning consent for a second double garage/cart barn. A pedestrian gate leads to a flagged path flanked by herbaceous borders leading to the front porch. The boundary with the road is a mixture of old flint wall and mature hedging.
On the south side of the house is a walled garden with wisteria, climbing roses and a mature cherry tree. On the north side there is a brick paved rear driveway with electric gates and a Mediterranean gravel garden with a childsafe reflection pool and vine-covered pergola over a large outdoor dining area. Beyond is an arboretum featuring specimen trees. The wildflower meadow adjoins the garden on the north side of the house, and has dog-safe fencing and lovely views over the fields.
