1. Garden with spectacular tree framed view down a sloping park (now a golf course and sports fields) towards Flint and Dee estuary. Round the house the garden is mainly wooded, and a steep wooded dingle to the South was once threaded with paths. A walled garden adjoining the hall to the west contains the formal gardens. Entered from the hall or through brick arched doorways with unusual oak doors, the garden is crossed by a rose pergola of 12 oak arches with a stone flagged path. Internally the walls have been relined with new bricks. Traces of several glasshouses survive inside the North West wall, and associated buildings on the outside. The farm and garden buildings are in the 'house style' of polychrome brick with moulded decoration. The productive garden, entered from the stable yard by a slype, is a mix of at least 7 overgrown enclosures, only partly walled, and has a colourful set of six pigsties with a chicken house above reached by an external stair. West of this farmyard, to the South a transverse hedge of pollard beech.
