Description

Budleigh Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, possibly with earlier origins. It features rendered granite rubble walls and a thatched roof with gable ends. The gable stacks are rendered, likely brick on stone, while the rear wing has a projecting rendered stone gable stack. The original layout consisted of two rooms with a central through-passage, each heated by a gable end stack. The larger left-hand room was likely the kitchen until a kitchen wing was added to the rear of the right-hand room in the late 17th century. The right-hand end of the house appears to have been rebuilt in the 18th century. A newel staircase that was originally located in a projection behind the left-hand room's gable stack has since been removed.

The farmhouse has two storeys, while the rear wing has three storeys. The front features three windows, likely 20th-century three-light casements with small panes, and a two-light window at the centre of the first floor. The doorway is slightly to the right of centre and has a 20th-century glazed door beneath a rustic timber porch supported on posts. There is a break in the stonework to the right of the first-floor centre, indicating where rebuilding occurred. At the rear of the left-hand room, there is a rectangular stair projection adjoining the stack with a window on the gable end.

Inside, there are only a few early features remaining. The left-hand room has a roughly chamfered cross beam that is forked at the rear wall end. The fireplace features a chamfered wooden lintel with hollow step stops and a brick oven on the right-hand side. The roof is probably an early 18th-century pegged design with collars set into straight principals.
