Continuing past the barn there is an open garage flanked by a stone and hedged bank. In front of The Mill there is more parking space, feature mill stones and ponds with steps to the mill pond.

The delightful well tended gardens surrounding the mill are laid predominantly to sweeping lawns with a fine selection of specimen trees. The beautiful central mill pond (now fed via a bore hole water supply since the demise of the original mill leat water source, which previously crossed neighbouring farm land until it was filled in some years ago) features a central fountain and is well stocked with fish and bordered by well stocked mature flower borders and trees which provide a number of sheltered areas in which to sit and enjoy the gardens and the wildlife in the garden. An expanse of level lawn is edged by a well stocked flower border which leads back to the mill and has wide steps leading to a lower area of lawn which extends around to the rear of the property. 

The front garden is laid to lawn and enclosed by shrub borders and a paved path. The remaining garden is laid to lawn and extends from the front gate around the mill pond.

A timber summer house with chipping area for sitting out, located to the east of the mill pond beside an overflow pond, which in turn runs into a natural pond beside the Crooked Oak River (a tributary to the River Mole) which runs along the northern boundary of the property with open field beyond. There is an attractive area of river bank with timber decking from which you can take tea, watch the wildlife or cool your feet.

To the rear of the property is access to the undercover water wheel with its wooden buckets set on an iron frame and spindle (which can only now be fed via the mill pond). Adjacent to the wheel housing is the Loggia, having undoubted potential to be enclosed, currently an observation area with railings and gate to access the wheel which adjoins an undercover display of artefacts and observation area backing on to the rear garden with outlook over the river.
