A sweeping driveway, edged with white post and rail fencing and paddocks, leads to a parking area for several cars and provides access to the barn and further parking space, including under-cover parking bays.

To the rear of the house, the well-maintained gardens enjoy a high degree of seclusion and incorporate a paved patio that takes full advantage of the southerly aspect and an 'all weather' tennis court, complete with a practice wall.
