The gardens and grounds are exceptional, and surround the main house completely. The original walled garden is a super enclosed space, while the kitchen garden, and formal and less formal lawned areas, provide variety. There is also a fine plantation of beech and ash trees and beyond here lies the main paddock, which comes to around 12 acres.
Additionally, a range of outbuildings comprises storage areas, an office, and a barn with planning consent to be converted into guest accommodation.
The Old Rectory sits on the edge of the village of Elworthy on the borders of the Exmoor National Park. For further amenities, Wiveliscombe (five miles) has a post office, well-regarded butcher and a range of other shops. Taunton is 12 miles.
