Why the Folly Cottage?

The Folly Cottage is what it is - it's a folly - it's pretending to be a cottage but is actually a Victorian terraced house in Malvern, a two minute walk from the common.

I bought the house in 2002 and it was the cheapest and the ugliest house in the row of Victorian terraced cottages. It had aluminium windows and had been stripped internally of all the pretty, charming details - a legacy of the era of 'modernisation' during the 50's but lacking the lovely Retro feel! Basically, it was grotty but affordable.
