Exterior
Freestone piers have gabled caps with sunk trefoils, and iron gates. Flanking these are rubble and freestone piers, and railings on dwarf walls, beyond which is a coped rubble-stone wall. The wall is longer on the SW side, fronting the road into the village and forming the S boundary of the formal garden, where there is a pointed gateway with iron gate, immediately S of the house. The gate gave access from the house to the abbey ruins, which were part of the pleasure gardens until c1900. The coped boundary wall continues further W to a sharp bend in the road at the SW corner of the gardens opposite Home Farm, beyond which it is plainer.
