The kitchen garden to the northwest & the buildings of 'Luscombe House Farm' to the north were also screened. In 1820 the grounds included garden, orchard, shrubberies, plantations & farmland. The gardens were developed in 20C to include a terrace, rock garden, weirs & swimming pool. The property was divided c1997 when the stables & coach house were converted to domestic use.
