Description
The Octagon is a mid-19th century stuccoed house located at right angles to Fore Street in Budleigh Salterton. It features a slate roof and an octagonal tower with a pyramidal roof at the end facing the road. The tower has tall elliptical arch recesses on alternate faces and the building stands three storeys high. The windows are sash windows without glazing bars. It is possibly built as a toll house. An external wall plaque notes that Sir John Everett Millais, a prominent artist, painted his famous picture "The Boyhood of Raleigh" while staying at this house in 1870.
