Budleigh Farm has a nicely elevated and south facing position, looking down across a patchwork of small, hedged fields towards the Blackdown Hills. It dates from the 16th century, is Grade II listed and beautifully presented with good-sized rooms containing many original fittings. These include flagstone floors, exposed ceiling and wall timbers, fine chamfered beams and several gorgeous fireplaces. The farmhouse has been extended substantially and sympathetically twice during its life.
The first on its south west side, as this has the best views and contains the drawing room with the principal bedroom suite above it. The second is at the rear of the house and contains the combined kitchen and splitlevel living room with a vaulted ceiling, French windows to the garden and mezzanine office/occasional bedroom. Overall, the house has seven reception rooms and a total of five double bedrooms (including the occasional bedroom above the kitchen) and two bath and shower rooms plus an attic storage room in the roof space. The principal bedroom suite has its own en suite, dressing room and large feature oriel window looking out across miles of unspoilt countryside. Within the grounds are two three-bedroom cottages, one bedroom ground floor annexe and a separate home office.

Budleigh Farm is situated in a hamlet amidst unspoilt, open countryside within the Blackdown Hills Natural Landscape and about two miles from the charming village of West Buckland.
