The approach to the house from the Victorian entrance archway is given a pleasant informality by the attractive circular dovecote. Beyond this the stables, mostly C19, but incorporating older work; on the hill slope above, a walled garden (the wall dated 1748 and partly lined with brick inside), entered between gatepiers with pineapples. West of the house a 19th century balustraded terrace with steps down to a small lake.
