There are a number of round headed openings giving access. It encloses an area of 1.14 hectares. The walled garden incorporates a licensed marquee which is used to host wedding receptions.
• A viewing platform built in a classical style overlooking an Italian garden. A long flight of steps leads down to the platform which has a protective stone open balustrade.
