The east and south-facing, enclosed rear garden of the house was designed by a previous ex-RHS winning-owner and includes pedestrian access to the dedicated parking space for the property. The grounds within Castle Close offer a private path to the lane connecting to the castle.
The house is a short walk from the facilities in the village centre which includes The Crown and Castle Hotel, the Kings Head public house, Pinney's own Butley Oysterage fish restaurant, the internationally-renowned Pump Street Bakery and Cafe, the village shop with Post Office which is open seven days a week, and the Town Hall, which is used for the weekly country market, various leisure activities, exhibitions and social events. On the side at the front of the Town Hall is a newspaper kiosk. There is also a primary school and a doctors' surgery in the village.
The church is often the venue for musical events in conjunction with Aldeburgh Music's Snape Maltings Concert Hall only a few miles away. Orford is recognised for its architecture, its sailing and as the gateway to RSPB Orford Ness, which houses military ruins and the now decommissioned lighthouse, all of which can be visited by the public. Orford is within Suffolk's Heritage Coast, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and includes nature reserves, meandering rivers and woodlands, all connected by a network of public footpaths.
