DESCRIPTION

It is understood that there has been a house on the site of Buddileigh Farm since 1620. It was rebuilt in about 1906 and again by our clients in 2008. Buddileigh Farm has been constructed by the present owners, built of brick with rendered elevations, all surmounted by a tiled roof. The house has been built with a contemporary and flexible layout to take full advantage of its wonderful location.

The attention to detail and no expense mantra is evident throughout. The accommodation has a real feeling of light and space with great ceiling heights, and a full compliment of windows and French windows to the terraces and balconies maximising the outstanding views in all directions over the gardens, grounds and countryside beyond. The house has been lovingly designed so as to have character, architectural interest and unique features. The house has been built for owner occupation and as a result is embedded with quality fixtures. It extends to circa. 3,500 square feet.

There is a superb four bedroom/three bathroom barn conversion, Hunters Tryst, and a one bedroom cottage, Buddileigh Cottage. Hunters Tryst and Buddileigh Cottage extends to about 3,904 square feet. The overall square footage of Buddileigh Farm, Hunters Tryst and Buddileigh Cottage is circa. 7,400 square feet (gross internal plus the balconies).
The owners have spent considerable time, effort and expenditure in creating the wonderful gardens and grounds. They are beautiful, mature and established yet also not onerous to maintain. The gardens are split into different areas and al fresco dining and outdoor entertaining can be accommodated in all parts of the gardens as the sun moves around.

The principle eleven acre field, to the West, is down to grass with impressive oak trees, hedgerow boundaries, a long avenue of carpinus hornbeam, vehicular access to the main road. There is a four acre paddock of pasture to the South of the house with a field shelter and hedgerow boundaries. The land is suitable for grazing horses or livestock.
