The gardens are made up of several parts, mostly flat and laid to lawn with mature trees, hedges and borders throughout. There is also a folly which makes for an excellent outdoor dining area, tennis court, kitchen garden divided into separate plots, woodland, and a natural pond.

Access to 1 Manor house is around the left of the building into a paved courtyard. The gardens are beautifully maintained by residents and a gardener employed by the management company, for which there is a modest contribution required. There is also a secure storage area.
