The grounds measure just under 15 acres in total which is split into a 10 acre hay meadow and a further 4 acre hay meadow. The 14 acres of hay meadow is allocated as a site of special scientific interest (SSSI) which restricts its usage. Care needs to be taken with how the land is managed, it cannot be ploughed or planted or have animals, except being grazed from approximately mid July to February each year. The house then sits in approximately an acre of formal gardens which wrap around the property and include a large west facing patio seating area. The acre of gardens then lead down to a further woodland and orchard area of approximately 0.7 acre. Neither the gardens nor woodland make up part of the SSSI.

The hay meadows are special due to the presence of green-winged orchid Orchis morio. They are considered the finest known example of this type of habitat surviving in Herefordshire. The meadow has a rich and varied flora. Typical plants include yellow rattle Rhinanthus minor, lesser knapweed Centaurea nigra, ox-eye daisy Leucanthemum vulgare and lady's bedstraw Galium verum. Adder's-tongue Ophioglossum vulgatum, a local species and an indicator of ancient grassland, is also present. Green-winged orchids occur in large numbers as does the common-spotted orchid Dactylorhiza fuchsii. The meadows are bordered by species-rich hedgerows and at the far side, Ell Brook.
There is a �1,000 maintenance grant available from the Rural Payments Agency under the Countryside Stewardship Scheme.
