Beyond the main courtyard and buildings is a productive walled kitchen garden with numerous vegetable beds, espalier trees and a fruit cage. Adjacent is a home orchard full of mature fruit trees including apples, pears, plums and an almond tree.

The Vineyard, Frome Valley Wine
A 3.5-acre vineyard was established in the 1990s by the previous owner, and the current owner has taken it forward into a small thriving business with award-winning wines, which attracts visitors who enjoy learning about and tasting English wine. It produces between 6,000–8,000 bottles per annum depending on the harvest and includes Bacchus, Pinot Noir and Heritage varieties, including Madeleine Angevine, Huxelrebe and Reichensteiner. The owners organise vinification with a local expert contract winemaker in nearby Ledbury. The wine and other produce are sold through their website, summer tours and tastings at a number of well-established food and drinks festivals in the region.
