Farleigh House, English country house in Farleigh Hungerford, England.
Farleigh House is a stone country house in Somerset with Gothic Revival architectural elements and Grade II listed status. The property sits on an estate with formal gardens and stands in the rural countryside near Farleigh Hungerford.
The house was built in 1820 by Joseph Houlton using stone from the nearby ruins of Farleigh Hungerford Castle. This construction was an expensive undertaking that required substantial resources.
The house reflects the lifestyle of English landed gentry, with formal gardens and architectural details from the early 1800s. These elements show how wealthy families of that time designed and displayed their estates.
The building currently serves as the administrative headquarters and training facility for Bath Rugby Club, meaning it is used primarily for official purposes. Visitors should know that this sports club use may limit access to the property.
A medieval fortified tower called 'Drakes' still stands on the grounds and has been restored and renamed Tower House or Castle Court. This tower dates from a much earlier period than the main house and tells its own story of the site.
