The Folly was designed and built by the current owners in 2014/15 using the framework of a barn that was once used to store traction engines. The land and the barn sit on Green Belt land in the former grounds of a neighbouring Grade II listed property, and the house was built to strict building regulations. The metal frame of the barn was retained, and the slate roof is in keeping with the original structure.
The house, when completed, achieved the highest possible EPC rating of A. Eco features include a ground source heat pump which powers the underfloor heating, solar panels on the roof, and triple glazing throughout. The house is exceptionally well-insulated. The owners have never needed to use the upstairs heating. Property has two boreholes, one supplying all the water to the property, and one into which the ground source heat pump discharges.
