The Old Vicarage is as much about the outside as the inside, not only for the views and rural village location, but for the range of outbuildings which are ideal for livestock/equestrian or as hobby/workshops. The stone outbuildings comprise a stable, a store and kennel with run. To the side of the house is a parking area leading to a wooden gate opening onto a driveway/area of hard standing.
