The land, which extends to about 0.7 acres, has a spring water supply which feeds the pond which is currently home to some Indian Runner ducks.

Stoop Cellars was originally the cider press for Broadhempston, with two of the millstones remaining within the grounds. The term 'Stoop' is a Devonshire term for the mulched apple which goes into the cider press.
