The grounds, covering some 9 acres or thereabouts which consists predominantly of deciduous woodland, which was planted under the premium farm woodland scheme (between 1995 and 1998) gaining an award from the Welsh Forestry Commission, and has been maintained, of late, with the thinning out of Ash due to dieback, offering fantastic walks and trails, within the property's curtilage.

Landscaped Gardens and Outbuildings
Felin Wen benefits from a diverse collection of landscaped, ornamental and forest garden areas for enjoyment. Dispersed with specimen trees and shrubs from across the globe, woodland walks are abundant, interspersed with seating areas, to allow for the full enjoyment of this truly tranquil location.

Pig Sty/Storage
Beyond the commercial aspect of the development there is a refurbished pigsty, which has been sympathetically restored, to what can only be described as its former glory and offers the ability to include livestock into any future plans, if desired.

Garden Stores/Garage
Beyond the restored pigsty, there is a block-built garden store/garage, which benefits from power and lighting, offering plenty of storage for ride-on lawnmower, implements and vehicles, etc.

Salting Room
Attached to the main dwelling, in near original condition, is the building that would have, historically, been utilised for animal housing/storage. Constructed to match the main house with blue-stone features and slate roof.
