The gardens are a major feature of the house and are principally laid to lawn with well stocked herbaceous borders and a number of fine mature trees..

At one side of the garden paths have been created which wind through different areas of planting from which to enjoy aspects of the house and setting. At the rear of the garden is an area of woodland with a number of fine mature trees including oak and chestnut. There are a number of outbuildings to the side of the house.

The house is tucked away off Jack Straws Lane behind Doris Field Nature Reserve from which there are fine views of the Oxford Spires. This part of the lane serves only a few houses and is flanked by mature trees and hedges in places.
