Flower beds are full of spring bulbs creating a riot of seasonal colour and the garden is interspersed with mature shrubs and trees. A 'herringbone' brick pathway leads to the far boundary marked by a low stone wall beyond which is the adjacent farmland, which in recent years has been used to grow wheat, corn and to graze sheep. On the lane side of the house is an additional smaller level lawn and set atop the garage is a decked seating area, being a perfect spot for outside dining or entertaining, taking full advantage of the rural views to Penyard Woods and St Lawrence's church at Weston under Penyard.
