The Round House

The Round House is an estate cottage located on Mill Street in Hopesay, likely built in the late 18th century. The eaves were raised in 1825, as indicated by a datestone, and there have been minor later additions and alterations. The building is constructed from roughly coursed limestone rubble and features a conical slate roof, with smaller slates towards the top, and a circular stone stack at the center. It has a circular plan and stands two storeys high, showcasing a crude dentilled eaves cornice. The windows include small 19th and 20th-century casements, with those on the first floor positioned directly below the eaves. To the right of the front entrance, there is a late 19th-century canted bay window that was formerly a shop front. The entrance features a four-panel door beneath a gabled timber porch, with the datestone "FM/1825" positioned above.

Inside, the front ground-floor room has exposed joists and a stone fireplace. There is a late 20th-century timber lean-to on the left, which is not of special architectural interest.
