Listed Dartmoor folly thought to be the architect's smallest building goes up for sale

A tiny building designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens has gone on sale for about 拢10,000.

The grade II listed folly on Dartmoor is thought to be the architect's smallest building. Known as 鈥淭he Pimple鈥�, the 94-year-old stone structure sits on top of a 12m mound over a disused reservoir on Whitchurch Down.

The 4m-long structure differs somewhat from some of Lutyens' other creations in the UK and abroad, which include substantial parts of New Delhi - including Parliament House - and the Cenotaph in London.

Neil Woolcock of Ward and Chowen estate agents in Tavistock, which is handling the sale, said the vendor bought it a few years ago from South West Water because it was "a little corner of England鈥�.
