A medieval timber-framed building sitting on the church green at Clare, an unspoilt Suffolk market town. This welcoming and comfortable house exudes history.

Deep in the woods sits this octagonal folly – with a real surprise inside. The ceiling and walls of the main room are festooned with shells, while in the basement is a cold plunge pool.

The Chapel is a tiny grey granite building in the rural hamlet of Lettaford, a settlement on the edge of Dartmoor that has been lived in since at least 1300.

This very clever scale model of a French chateau sits on a hill above the River Trent in the middle of the Lincolnshire countryside.

Listed Grade II*, the dairy was conceived to represent a tiny Italianate chapel topped with a bell tower, and with four corner pavilions.

A fine, two-storey Jacobean porch salvaged from a great house once beloved of the poet and playwright John Dryden but now lost.

The tower was built as a folly in 1821 with a pretty sitting room on the first floor. The third floor was added in 1943 by the Germans as an observation point, with views in every direction.

A tiny, circular tower standing on the boundary of a cricket pitch, Prospect Tower was built around 1808. Approached along an avenue of walnut trees, Lord Harris called it his “whim.”

This beautiful little pavilion has two distinct faces and has a breath-taking panorama. Approached from the wood, this rustic cottage with a thatched roof houses an elegant interior.

A Georgian folly within an outstanding Picturesque garden, the Ruin was built in about 1766. On the edge of a steep wooded gorge, it was one of several buildings scattered across the gardens.

This simple and evocative cottage, from around 1840, was built to serve one of the monumental pumping engines that sprang up as the Steam Age took on the challenge of draining the Fenland.

This tiny pavilion was a majestic grandstand for the enclosure in front. It is a mature expression in miniature of all that was best in Tudor and Jacobean architecture.

Canons Ashby is a 16th century house, hardly touched since 1710. Our Landmark is at the top of a tower, and its light and pretty rooms have views of the beautifully restored gardens.

Built in the 17th century, the Warren House was home to the warrener of the estate. In the 18th century a decorative facade was added by Vanbrugh, Thomas Archer or Robert Adam.
