To the south of the house and attached to it is a squared walled garden, with east, west and south walls of mortared stone rubble. There is a small section of pan tile capping to the north-west, and an adjoining outhouse to the east. Monumental gate piers of sandstone ashlar are set centrally in the south wall, and appear to be possibly of 17th - 18th century date, the stepped pyramidal capping has a chamfered and hollow moulded drip to the base, which is identical to the 1660s windows of the house. The piers appear to be integral with the adjoining walls to the east and west, which were flush pointed and white washed and with double roman tile capping. They have an internal rib with hinges to both sides for inward opening gates. The pyramid caps stop abruptly and almost certainly had ball finials, now removed.
