The landscaped gardens consist of an estate railing bound formal front lawn with mature borders and an excellent patio area for outdoor entertaining. Beyond the front garden, the property enjoys a number of well-planned garden walks which are accessed via ornamentally stoned pathways.

The garden walks include a range of native woodland species, a large naturally fed pool that makes for an impressive entrance feature along the driveway, as well as herbaceous borders including native shrubberies and Rhododendrons.
