The house has many of the attributes which make houses from this period so appealing including large, light reception rooms, flagstone and tiled floors, window seats, original fireplaces, mullioned windows and cross-beamed ceilings.
Accommodation in total comprises: hall, drawing room, sitting room, dining room, study, kitchen with Aga, cloakroom, en-suite master bedroom and five further bedrooms all on the first floor, along with a family bathroom.

The gardens amount to around an acre and are mainly laid to lawn. There is a former grass tennis court and a stone outhouse which is an excellent workshop and would make a fine home office.
The Old Vicarage is located in the Somerset village of Haselbury Plucknett, three miles from Crewkerne on the Somerset/Dorset border which has a number of good facilities including a primary school, church and a pub. Further amenities are found in Crewkerne and nearby Yeovil.
