In the mid-19th century, a stream was diverted to make ornamental ponds, one with a circular island. A high flint and brick wall forms the boundary to the east and north, behind which is an extensive woodland area of conifers and deciduous trees with paths through. The small pond still remains and the herbaceous borders and conservatory are to the north of the house.- Features
