There are two entrances into the estate, both with electric gates. The first accesses the southern side of the estate, passing between two lakes to the hangar barn with stables. The main entrance opens to a large courtyard in front of the house. The gardens lie to the south, predominantly laid to lawn with an adjoining split-level terrace. To the east there is mature parkland.
