On the northern outskirts of the village and beyond the boundary of the present conservation area is the former Vicarage of 1849. It has an irregular frontage of stone, partly re-used from a barn, and are believed to have belonged to the Vicar's Choral. Some re-used medieval windows at the rear are probably from the former Priest's House.

Substantial detached house, formerly the parsonage. Built 1849 for Rev J L Fulford, by John Hayward, Diocesion architect, incorporating material from the medieval tithe barn and parsonage. Snecked Salcombe Regis stone and sandstone, with some volcanite trap; two-span gabled-end slate roof. Double depth plan house, with entrance hall flanked by reception rooms, the staircase occupying the left-hand section of the rear range. Left-hand external end stack; front and rear external lateral stacks towards right-hand end, each with paired off-sets. Two storeys. Front: irregular four-window range; all windows square-headed, the lights pointed and cusped, those to the first floor of two- and three-lights; ground floor with a paired set of two-light windows to either side of entrance, and a two-light window placed in external stack, all under hood moulds. Moulded arch to entrance. Left-hand end elevation: with two-light pointed window with transom lighting stairwell, and a later single-light window to front range. Right-hand side elevation: two three-light windows to first floor, with hood moulds; three uncusped windows to ground floor.

Slated leanto. Interior: contemporary joinery intact including panelled doors and dog-leg staircase; acanthus plaster cornice to main rooms. Some painted glass initials in head light tracery.
