Some 300 metres north of the house, Burges' 4 acre kitchen garden of circa 1870 slopes north-west to south-east and is enclosed by stepped stone walls circa 3 metres high. At the south and east corners circular stone turrets were constructed echoing the turret on the stables 95 metres south-east, but the conical roofs were removed circa 1970. The principal entrance to the garden is adjacent to a 19th century brick and tile-hung gardner's cottage at the north-west corner of the garden, while 2 19th century wrought iron gates remain in the south-east wall.
