There are relatively large, mainly lawned, gardens which surround the property on 3 sides with a number of mature shrubs and a mixture of coniferous & deciduous trees. At the far end of the garden beyond the greenhouse is a natural pond. On the opposite side of the drive is a small wooded garden area.

This is a substantial building of mainly block construction under a modern steel profile sheet roof. Internally the building is divided into garaging, workshop & storage areas at the front and 4 pony/livestock stalls at the rear with an open storage area.
