The formal gardens are enclosed by a stone wall on the west and are principally down to grass. There are curving harled walls providing shelter from the prevailing winds as well as being an attractive architectural feature and blending the house in to the grounds. Adjoining the paved terrace to the north of the house is a large shrub border which continues round to the front of the house. To the south of the house, in keeping with the area, is a putting green and practice bunker. Additional woodland To the south of the garden an area of semi-ancient woodland extending to about 1.78 acres is available to lease from the estate on a long term basis if required by the purchaser.
