Details House, still in use, and remains of a walled garden, depicted on historic OS maps and dating from the 18th century. The 1st edition shows a large walled garden of two compartments, the western one larger and containing a small rectangular building set against the inner north wall of a smaller walled area/ Two other buildings stand to the north outwith the walls of the main gardens. The western garden does not appear on the 2nd edition map, and the building north of the eastern garden has been enlarged or replaced, now named The Orchard, and several outbuildings added. Some of these outbuildings have since been removed. Research carried out by Friends of Duff House noted there are still two vines growing at the site of the vinery here. For the later walled garden and vinery of Duff House see NJ66SE0186.
