The house is described circa 1825 as backed by a rookery of elms and approached by an avenue of limes but otherwise surrounded by a stone wall and laurel hedges. The garden wall is about 15 feet high and was apparently raised to this height [circa 1930] to block the view of the tennis courts from the vicarage so the vicar could not see games being played on a Sunday.
