Folly Farm, Grade I listed country house and Grade II* listed garden in Sulhamstead, England
The property combines a 17th-century farmhouse with early 20th-century extensions, featuring grey and red brick construction with formal gardens divided into distinct sections.
Edwin Lutyens transformed the original 1650s cottage into an H-shaped structure in 1906, adding a neoclassical hall painted black and completing another extension in 1912.
The gardens, designed by Lutyens and Gertrude Jekyll, showcase different themed spaces including the Tank Court, Canal Garden, and Sunken Rose Garden with geometric patterns.
The estate requires special permissions for modifications due to its Grade I and Grade II* listings, which protect both the building and its surrounding landscape.
During World War II, the property served as a maternity hospital where British chef Keith Floyd was born on December 28, 1943.
