This is sad but true – most vicars have to share their home with the Parish. One church I knew of had a newly built vicarage, and the you could go into the vicars study, which had a large area for holding committee meetings, and to the toilet and cloakroom without going into the rest of the house, I think they could try and convert older vicarages so that this is the case.
When I was a child the vicar and his family had a huge unmanageable damp Victorian vicarage, designed for at least three servants. The garden was lovely for the fete. For a while the parish owned some goats to help maintain the lawn (the goats did not attend the fete).
