The fully enclosed paddock is located to the south of the house, this is accessed from the entrance drive and is enclosed by a post and rail fence. This has been historically used for the grazing of sheep and ponies. There are mature trees, a shed and field shelter.

There are two garages and an adjoining range of useful outbuildings.
