OUTSIDE    A tarmacadum drive provides extensive parking. The gardens are currently mainly laid to lawn with an extensive paved patio area, and a great collection of mature trees and shrubs. Great potential for landscaping, and adjoining farmland with some nice views along the eastern side.

FORMER RAILWAY LINE    Adjoining the northern end of the formal gardens, this extends to just over 2 acres and it is fair to say that the majority has currently been reclaimed by nature providing a great habitat/corridor for wildlife. It is defined along either side by lines of mature beech, whilst the centre is now covered by willow/bramble undergrowth. Interestingly, one cleared area with a TIMBER/SHEET CLAD SHELTER has a history of an archery range for which it is perfectly suited.
