Summary - Budleigh Farm, West Buckland, Wellington, Somerset TA21 9LW
12 bed 9 bath Detached
Grade II farmhouse with cottages, pool and nearly eight acres — versatile home and income.
Approximately 12-bedroom estate across main house plus four cottages
Budleigh Farm is a rare Grade II listed farmhouse estate that combines a spacious family home with four independent cottages, set in nearly eight acres of landscaped gardens, orchard and two enclosed fields. The principal house offers generous ground-floor living, a vaulted kitchen/dining/family room and four double bedrooms; two additional three-bed cottages sit on separate title deeds, providing flexibility for borrowing, sale or independent use. The estate currently produces a gross income of approximately £50,000 per year from the cottages and annexe, making it attractive for part‑home, part‑income living.
Outdoor life is a key selling point: a private heated swimming pool, pool house with wet room and hot tub, mature formal gardens and extensive outbuildings including stables, tack room, workshop and paddocks. Elevated southerly views sweep across the Blackdown Hills toward Wellington Monument, and the plot’s size and agricultural buildings suit equestrian or small‑scale farming uses. The courtyard layout gives each dwelling privacy while keeping the cluster convenient for families or multi‑unit occupation.
Buyers should note this is a Grade II listed property: alterations are subject to listed building constraints, which may complicate refurbishment or enlargement despite existing listed consents for some enhancements. The fabric is traditional granite/stone with assumed no wall insulation, heating is oil‑fired to radiators, and broadband is currently very slow (Starlink is in use). There is a shared septic tank and council tax is described as very expensive.
Overall, Budleigh Farm will suit purchasers seeking a substantial country estate with flexible income potential—families wanting multi‑generational space, purchasers seeking rental returns, or hobby farmers. Expect maintenance and listed‑status responsibilities alongside the unique character, space and income opportunity this property offers.
