Believed to date back to 1690, with later additions enhancing its character, The Old Vicarage is a distinguished country residence set in a wonderfully private position. The property includes a separate cottage and lies within enchanting gardens and grounds, home to a number of magnificent mature trees. Most notably Cedars of Lebanon, thought to have been planted before 1728, as evidenced by their appearance in a print from that year. The setting offers far reaching views over the countryside.

The main house is arranged over three floors, with additional accommodation in the cellar. It offers generous and elegant living spaces, including a reception hall, five reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, various domestic offices, and an indoor swimming pool. The upper floors provide eleven bedrooms and four bathrooms, offering flexibility for family living, guests, or staff.
