Description
Round House Farmhouse and attached cowhouse is a farmhouse and cowhouse that underwent early 19th-century remodelling of an 18th-century house. The building is constructed of ashlar with a plain tile roof featuring a coped verge to the north-west and a hipped design to the south-east. It has an ashlar and brick lateral external stack. The structure is aligned north-west to south-east, with the house located to the south-east and the cowhouse to the north-west.
The farmhouse is two storeys high. The south-east front has three windows, which are glazing bar sashes with semi-circular heads. The first-floor windows on the left and right are blind and feature painted imitation glazing bars. There is a central door with a fanlight that contains radiating glazing bars. On the south-west front, the house has two bays on the right and a single bay for the cowhouse on the left, both under the same roof line. The windows are glazing bar sashes of various sizes. There is a door to the right of centre with a chamfered and stopped lintel, a cowhouse window on the ground floor to the left, and a loft door above. The building is reputed to have been a hunting lodge for Alton Towers.
