A RESTORED listed folly in Newport that appeared on Channel 4's Grand Designs is up for sale.

The property appeared on Grand Designs in February 2009 after being done up by owners Dean and Sarah Berry.

At the time Grand Designs presenter Kevin McCloud described Kemeys Folly as "a beautifully crafted building, quite poetic in places".

The property boasts features including:

  • 24 acres including woodland;
  • Six outstanding bedrooms;
  • Equestrian facilities include stables and outdoor manege;
  • Useful outbuildings;
  • Leisure building including an indoor pool;
  • Open plan 43ft living kitchen;
