Ashprington House is approached off the passing village lane through a pair of wrought iron gates and up a tarmac drive that sweeps round in front of the house before passing along the far side of the house to a double garage attached to the left rear corner of the house, with pedestrian access to the house via the playroom. The drive widens in front of the house to provide ample parking space for several cars.
The grounds of the house extend out primarily to the sides and front and are landscaped in such a way as to provide the house with a perfect setting that is both private and that does to detract anything from the view. This is achieved by areas of gently sloping lawn leading down to a tall stone boundary wall that contain the house and grounds entirely and creating a service yard at the rear of the house with its own door leading out on to the lane.
Within the grounds are a hard tennis court (in need of refurbishment) and a variety of many mature trees, both broadleaf and evergreen. Behind the tennis court is a small stable. In all the grounds amount to about In all about 1.27 acres.
