The house was constructed on the site of a much older property, so there are many established trees offering plenty of shade during the hot summer months. It stands in an acre of grounds, part trees, part garden, and part small grass paddock. The fruit-tree lined driveway from the country road is approximately 50m long, giving some seclusion, and leads through a garden with herbaceous border and shrubs to the house and parking area. The remainder of the garden is down to grass. There is also a small vegetable garden. Practically all flower beds, shrubs and vegetable garden have an automatic irrigation system. There is also a garden shed and a very rustic older shed.
