Description

Folly View is a former lodging house for eight estate workers, which also included a superintendent's residence. It was built around 1860 by E.G. Bruton for Christ Church College, Oxford. The building is constructed from squared and coursed limestone with a rock-faced finish, featuring slate roofs and stone chimneys. It is designed in a rustic Gothick style, characterized by steeply pitched roofs and pointed arches over narrow windows.

The structure is two storeys high and has a two-bay front facing the road, with the left bay being gabled. This bay includes a three-light ground floor window with cushion capitals on shafts between the lights, a two-light first floor window with a stop-chamfered stone mullion, and an arched vent slit in the gable. The right bay features a single light arched slit window, an arched doorway with a 20th-century board door, and a small round window or vent just below the eaves. The left side of the building has arched ground floor windows and catslide semi-dormers on the front bays, along with a projection that has a similar roof and windows, as well as an arched door beyond. Folly View is part of a group of buildings originally constructed for housing estate workers.
