Gardens, Grounds and Outbuildings

The front has a south facing terrace with steps leading down to the lawns and gardens, all beautifully landscaped with areas including orchards, a wildlife pond and a vegetable garden with further areas of less formal gardens running to the boundaries. To the rear of the house is an area of woodland sloping down from Bucknell Hill with further banks creating an amphitheatre setting.

A set of attractive stone and timber barns were renovated to provide a studio and storage in 2006 and these are set on the side of the driveway.
