Adjacent to the house is a large double carport on top of which a quantity of PV panels produce a significant contribution to the electrical consumption of the house. The stone dovecotes make attractive garden features and provide tool storage whilst the separate barn is a useful implement or boat store. The immediate gardens around the house are laid to lawn and maturing flowering shrubs whilst much of the land has been planted as woodland and orchard with some 10 acres of pasture to the east, extending in all to some 38 acres and all approached down a long private well surfaced drive the entire length of which belongs to Benhurden. It should be noted that much of the woodland has been planted under a forestry scheme and cannot be cut for some 15 years.
