Noteworthy are the landscaped gardens, which capitalize on the property's southern exposure. A York Stone terrace spans the length of the house, providing an idyllic setting for outdoor dining amidst wisteria-draped walls and vibrant borders.

Mainly flat lawns run away from the house, adjoining the further land, mainly laid to paddocks. There is a grass tennis court to the north west of the house and a sheltered vegetable and fruit garden.
Nestled on the outskirts of one of Surrey's most esteemed villages, this Arts and Crafts style country house beckons with its vast potential and breath taking panoramic views.
