Garden and Grounds
The Drury, and its wonderful range of outbuildings, stands centrally, flanked by paddocks offering excellent privacy and protection. The land is arranged into two primary fields to the side and rear of the house and buildings. Within the land are two large pools, surrounded by wooded areas.

To the side of the house, and with a separate road access, is a range of traditional barns and buildings. These include a range of brick barns (The Old Dairy), dutch barns and portal frame buildings. These have scope for alternative uses, for example a change of use to equestrian, subject to consents being obtained, and residential conversion, if the local authority reviews its position on private drainage systems – the reason given for a recent refusal. Plans for this refused proposed scheme can be provided, by request.

Near to the house is a garage building with the capacity for three vehicles, and a cobbled courtyard.
