The gardens that adjoin Hoseley Lane have been extensively landscaped to include an impressive arrangement of boxed hedged enclosures with integral gravelled pathways, inset lawns, together with borders stocked with established shrubbery. The box hedging encompasses a delightful central three tier water feature with surrounding lawn and established shrubbery. Further box hedging continues around a pleasant side Orchard with established apple tree.
Positioned to the front of the house and predominating the garden landscaping is a magnificent mature Wellingtonia Tree. From the front driveway there are steps down to an attractive area of lawn enclosed by mature hedging and with mature shrubbery.

The rectangular section of patio is elevated, taking in impressive views of the house, the formal gardens, paddock and enjoys delightful views over the adjoining countryside and beyond towards Beeston, Peckforton etc.
