The full-size sand school measures 60m x 20m with an oil based surface and an additional smaller arena is ideal for lunging or turnout. The level fields are fenced and currently divided into several smaller connecting turnout paddocks, close to the barn and interspersed by mature trees. The surrounding outbuildings include a substantial workshop (previously a squash court), a hay store, a triple stable block and further garaging and stores, there is also a horse walker.

The Grounds Broom is set within a total of about 18.3 acres surrounding the main house and outbuildings. The paddocks lie on the northern side, together with a block of mature woodland, recently cleared to create a network of walking or riding tracks. A wide terrace and an expanse of lawn fringed by trees lie to the south, forming a lovely backdrop which can be seen from the majority of rooms.
