The Old Vicarage is a gracious Grade II listed village house constructed of rubble stone elevations under a tiled roof with two broad gables and both stone mullioned and sash windows.
The accommodation is generous and harks back to various periods - the reception hall is spacious and welcoming with a Georgian shell cupboard, stone fireplace and a rare medieval puddle floor. The arch-framed 17th century staircase also opens onto the hall while the sitting room has a large medieval inglenook fireplace and French windows with original shutters.
Accommodation in total comprises: reception hall, drawing room, study, dining room, inner hall, kitchen/breakfast room and a studio annexe. The principal bedroom is en suite and there are five further bedrooms and a family bathroom upstairs.
Outside the formal garden is divided from the main lawn by a yew hedge - the lawn slopes down to the small brook at the end of the garden which has been planted with lavender. There is also a small stable or piggery and woodshed next to a vegetable patch with raspberry canes, rhubarb, gooseberry and blackcurrant bushes and the gardens boast some ancient apple and plum trees.

The property also has a fine coach house at the southern end of the garden and is valuable as office space or a workshop.
The house is situated within the Somerset village of Kilmersdon, which has an active village hall and a good public house. Babington House is just a mile away and can be reached through the bluebell woods at the end of the village.
