Kemeys Folly

Kemeys Folly is a folly built in the Baronial style. It has a rectangular plan and features a three-storey tower topped with an embattled parapet that rises from a corbel table. On the southeast corner, there is a four-storey stair turret that is corbelled from the first floor. The elevations are made of coursed local limestone rubble. The main entrance is on the front (south) elevation, which has a large oak boarded door. This elevation is three windows wide, and there is a memorial plaque above the front door, located beneath the stair turret as it projects outward. The second-storey windows are square and have Bathstone dressings, while the first floor features pairs of windows with similar dressings. The north, east, and west elevations are only lit at the second floor level by square windows set beneath the corbel table. All windows are modern. There are also modern single-storey extensions on the northeast and southwest elevations at the ground floor.

Inside, a tightly winding spiral staircase rises from the hallway to the roof, featuring Elizabethan Revival style oak newels and splat balusters. The dining room has a plasterwork frieze running around the room at a high level, depicting hunting scenes with trees, men on horseback, dogs, and a boar. The ceiling has plaster diamond lozenges in a 17th-century style. The principal bedroom on the first floor boasts a decorative ribbed plaster ceiling in an Elizabethan style, adorned with stylised flowers and pendants linked by plaster ribs. The principal rooms are fitted with stone four-centred 17th-century style fire surrounds that feature foliate spandrels.
