The rear garden is mature and extensive. Beautifully landscaped, the garden has a variety of areas to enjoy. The main terrace lies just off the rear of the house, with access from all of the principal ground-floor reception rooms.

Towards the back of the garden, there is a wildflower meadow which looks spectacular in the spring and summer time.
