The Old Estate Office, Saffron Walden, Essex, appears to stand in the grounds of Folly House, which is a large dwelling. Satellite image shows the back garden of Folly House is only marginally bigger than the house itself and has no buildings. The plaque by the door in the picture identifies this as 'The Old Estate Office' with the number 11 as if this is now a seperate dwelling from Folly House. It does appear to be in the grounds of Folly House and would seem that, with the wall and the building behind it so different, this is the folly that gives the big house its name.
