8 bedrooms, staff cottage, 7 acres
Perched on a hill above Ewhurst, 19th-century Folly Hill enjoys views from The Weald to the South Downs. The interiors are nearly as attractive as the panorama-especially the oak-panelled drawing room, the vast kitchen by Smallbone and the vaulted, galleried master bedroom. Seven acres of land also means privacy in this crowded county.
