Description

The Round House is a lodge that has been converted into a dwelling. It was built in the early 19th century and extended in the late 20th century. The building features rendered gault brick walls set on a repaired brick plinth, topped with a polygonal slate roof and a central octagonal ridge stack. It has an octagonal shape with a wing extending to the south and is a single storey. The corners are accentuated with rusticated quoins, and it has cast iron lattice casements. There is a doorway located in the south wing. The building was originally a lodge for Wimpole Hall.

Local climate

The Round House sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 690 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 97% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 87% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 33 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 55% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
