Farleigh House, English country house in Farleigh Hungerford, England.

The stone building features elements of Gothic Revival architecture and stands as a Grade II listed structure in the Somerset countryside.

Built in 1820 by Joseph Houlton using materials from nearby Farleigh Hungerford Castle, the construction of the house cost approximately £40,000.

The estate represents the lifestyle of English landed gentry, with its formal gardens and architectural elements reflecting early 19th-century design preferences.

The property currently serves as the administrative headquarters and training facility for Bath Rugby Club under a 99-year lease agreement.

A medieval fortified tower named 'Drakes' remains on the property, now restored and renamed as Tower House or Castle Court.
