The property is approached from a country lane via a gated access that leads into a large parking area with room to park and turn several vehicles. Here there is a large car port.

From the parking area, there is further gated access to the yard and outbuildings.

To the front and side of the house there is a Piet Oudolf inspired 12 year old garden teeming with birds, pollinators, and life. Because we have never used any chemicals to kill weeds or insects.

At the heart of the front garden is a horse chestnut tree. There are scarlet crab apples, a wedding cake tree, lots of shrubs, and perennials.

To the rear of the house, a small stream runs. The bank up to the road and boundary fence is planted with many flowering shrubs, and is lined with trees.
