There are two ponds, one of which is heated, and a waterfall. For animal lovers, there are two purpose-built dog kennels in brick, block and slate construction with concrete dog runs. Secure fencing runs around three sides of the boundary, with a 2m stone wall to the roadside boundary ensuring a safe enclosure for pets. 

Tucked in the northwest corner of the grounds is the fabulous and unusual folly, a mock castle complete with twin towers and a turreted façade adding a unique touch to Windlestone Manor. There is potential for expanding the additional living areas, subject to obtaining the necessary consents.
