Outside are three acres of gardens and grounds. Immediately to the rear is a large private lawn with further lawn at the front. The remainder of the grounds are made up of mature woodland which runs along either side of the stream, originally the power source for the mill.
The Mill House is situated in a picturesque wooded dell known locally as Chewton Bunny, situated within a short walk from Highcliffe Beach. Highcliffe itself has a good range of local amenities and offers wonderful walking along the coastline.
