The grounds feature an ornamental pond with a patio area perfect for alfresco dining, extensive lawns and wild meadows framed by mature trees and hedgerows, a stunning walled kitchen garden plus additional walled garden including an orchard and greenhouse, two tranquil lakes, attracting an abundance of local wildlife, and paddocks and open fields ideal for grazing livestock.
