Immediately adjoining the rear is a gravelled patio leading onto lawned gardens stocked with an abundance of shrubs and plants and a variety of trees including pine, lime and holm oak. The gardens are a particular feature, enjoying privacy from neighbouring properties and enjoying a favoured westerly aspect. At the rear, the garden is bounded by the original stone walls of Elwell Manor with gated access in the far corner leading to a timber shed, a range of fruit trees and a separate pedestrian access onto Buxton Road.
