Leigh House :
is a Jacobean manor house probably built in 1617. By the time the Henley family sold the house in the early 20th century it had acquired Victorian and Edwardian extensions which carefully copied the orginal mullion-windowed, ham-stone building.
The :
extensive farm-land was sold in the 1950s but the formal gardens were retained and are for you to use. we now enjoy the sights and occasional sounds and smells of the surrounding farms, whose fields undulate into Dorset and Devon, just down the lanes.
The house :
is on the southernmost border of Somerset and within easy reach of Lyme Regis, Bridport, Beer and Sidmouth. Many National Trust properties are nearby and Ford Abbey with its beautiful garden is just a stroll away through the lanes. Leigh House is a Grade II* listed building.
