Hall and Garden:
1. North-south orientation: the front section of the Hall was the main family residence whilst the rear section contained the service wing.
2. Arrival area: a side service route branched from the elliptical drop-off area and passed through a planted tree belt towards the rear entrance of the Hall and associated outbuildings.
3. Function: moving away from the Hall the function of the land became less formal and more practical. Directly adjacent to the Hall was an arrangement of lawns and mature borders. To the north west was an Orangery and enclosed (walled) garden, with greenhouses and fruit and vegetables beds, all encompassed by woodland shelter-belts and pasture within the parkland.
4. Outbuildings: at the rear of the Hall directly north was a collection of service buildings. These included a coach house, stables and probably stores and dairy quarters.
5. Gardens: lying to the west and north of the house these could be accessed directly from the western rooms. The gardens probably contained exotic species due to the trend during the 1800's of importing plants and trees from foreign lands.
