Today, most of Farleigh Hungerford Castle is ruined.
In the inner court only the exposed foundations remain of most of the castle buildings, along with the shells of the south-west and south-east towers.
Unusually for English castles, the outer court has survived better than the inner.
The restored eastern gatehouse is carved with the badge of the Hungerfords and the initials of the first Sir Edward Hungerford, who had them carved there between 1516 and 1522.
The priest's house remains intact, measuring 39 feet (11.9 m) by 22 feet (6.7 m) with two rooms on the ground floor and four rooms above.

In Saint Leonard's Chapel, the outlines of many of the medieval murals can still be made out, with the painting of Saint George and Dragon still in particularly good condition; historian Simon Roffey describes this work, one of only four such surviving works in England, as "remarkable".
The late 17th century tombs of the Hungerfords remain intact in the north transept chapel dedicated to Saint Anne.
The surviving lead anthropomorphic coffins in the crypt are archaeologically significant: although numerous in the late 16th and 17th centuries, few lead coffins survive today, and the chapel has what historian Charles Kightly considers "the best collection" in the country.

The castle site is run by English Heritage as a tourist attraction.
It is a Scheduled Monument, and the castle and chapel are Grade I listed buildings.
