The gardens and grounds are arranged around the house and include a part sunken croquet lawn surrounded by hedgerow and shrubs including rhododendrons, herbaceous borders, mature trees and a raised area with trees and daffodils, known as Church Bank. The principle gardens and grounds enjoy a Southerly aspect over open countryside. To the West there is a paddock area. To the East there is a lovely walkway to the Church and small carpark.
