Description
Turleigh Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 16th to 17th century, which underwent significant renewal after a fire around 1970. The building is constructed of rubble stone and features an imitation stone slate roof, which was previously thatched. It has two storeys, with the west end section having a roof that is hipped to the west. Above, there are two renewed timber-mullion three-light windows, with a door and a large triple casement window below. An east end stack is present.
Adjoining the main farmhouse is a one-storey range with an east stack, which includes two eaves-breaking flat dormers featuring renewed triple casements. The ground floor has a studded plank door to the left and a centrally located leaded two-light unmoulded stone mullion window. There is a lean-to on the east end. The rear of the main range has a three-light renewed timber-mullion window above and a ground floor 20th-century glazed lean-to.
Additionally, there is a single-storey outbuilding to the north with a pantiled monopitch roof. The lower range includes one ground floor pair of casement windows set in a heavy oak frame, along with a former door that has been infilled with latticed glazing, which is said to have come from a chapel. Inside the house, there is a 'very nice carved Tudor fireplace in the bedroom' and an early 17th-century minor plaster chimneypiece, likely crafted by the same artisans who worked at Westwood Manor.
