The formal gardens lie on the east side of the property and include a large terrace which provides a great space for outdoor entertaining, from here there are fine views to be had out over the formal lawns and garden beyond. The formal lawns extend down to a box hedge and from here the gardens open up into a more parklike environment with a number of well-established mature trees. Down towards the cottage is a large heated swimming pool with terrace surround and pool house. This area is a great space for recreation and sits behind a deep border which has been planted with a great variety of plants offering a real focal point.
