Outside to the front of the house are lawns interspersed by various shrubs and flower beds. To one side is a vegetable garden with raised beds and in the middle of the garden is a large fish pond overlooked by the summerhouse, which has a tennis court to its rear. Beyond the formal garden is an area of woodland and an orchard with a small pond. A paddock sits to the front which amounts to around seven acres: the total acreage is around 18 acres.
Woodlands Farm is located just a mile from the village of Raydon in South Suffolk. The house is also within easy reach of the local town of Hadleigh which has a wide range of day-to-day amenities. Ipswich is just over twelve miles and Colchester is just under 20 miles.
