To the north side is a delightful Japanese garden with a variety of specimen trees and shrubs, summerhouse with sauna and shower room. To the south side is stable block with tack room, a small yard and grazing area. There are outbuildings and a fenced paddock which extends to the rear boundary. Immediately adjoining
