The gardens are mainly positioned at the rear and are able to receive the sun throughout most of the day. There are many seating areas well suited for outside dining and relaxing. The vendors have landscaped the gardens beautifully; they are made up of meandering paths flanked with borders well stocked with a wide range of shrubs, bushes and perennials. The level gardens also feature lawns well enclosed by attractive stone walling and panelled fencing. The gardens lead on to a productive area where there is a greenhouse, garden shed and a vegetable patch. There are many fruit trees including differing varieties of apple and pear. Soft fruit varieties include black, red and white currants, as well as loganberry and gooseberry. There is a composting area and a chicken run.

At the rear of the plot a lane leads down to the woodland which amounts to some 7.4 acres. The woodland was originally planted as part of a scheme and has now passed its mandatory period. It has matured into a wonderful environment which is a rich haven for much wildlife and, with its meandering paths becomes the perfect area in which to escape to and enjoy a picnic taking in the shear beauty of the setting. The woodland really makes the lifestyle on offer at Lower Chipmans Barn something to aspire to.
