Shoreham House is accompanied by extensive modern equestrian facilities, offering stabling for 14 horses, a vermin resistant feed room, tack room with additional strong boxes, an Atcost barn which is currently part used for sheep, and an outdoor school with rubber surface.

Outside the property is surrounded by acres of paddocks and a small area of woodland, ideal for horses, sheep grazing and for chickens to roam free. The immediate gardens are well maintained and are well stocked with seasonal shrubs and perennials, a rose garden, fruit trees and majestic, some ancient, trees.
