The grounds of the main property are a great attraction to those interested in gardening and comprise extensive lawns, shrubberies and herbaceous gardens and an excellent shelter belt is formed by beautiful mature bluebell woods to the north and west. Against the walls of the house itself grow honeysuckle, jasmine and magnolia while the formal gardens open to an avenue of white cherry trees leading to a small ornamental lake. The land amounts to just over four-and-half acres.
The house sits in an extremely private situation in Braddock, one of south Cornwall's most picturesque and unspoiled rural villages located just a few miles to the east of the River Fowey and the stannary town of Lostwithiel, which has direct trains to London Paddington. The village is surrounded and protected by one of the great Cornish estates, Boconnoc.
