The Round House

The Round House is a cottage dating from the mid-to-late 18th century. Originally built as a tea-room and organ room with pleasure grounds for Catherine Styleman, who married Nicholas Styleman of Snettisham Old Hall, it features coursed, squared carstone with some rubble-faced blocks that may have served a dovecote function. The building has a black and smut pantiled roof and is single-storey with an attic inserted in the roof, designed in a pentagonal shape with a hipped roof in a Gothick style.

Each side of the cottage has an opening, most of which have been altered. The northeast side features a four-panel part-glazed door with switch tracery and a Gothic-arched head under an ogee surround with a cross at the top. The east side has an inserted two-light plate glass casement with an earlier switch tracery Gothic arched head. The southeast side includes a two-light casement with glazing bars and a switch tracery head. The southwest side has a 20th-century lean-to porch that screens a boarded door with a switch tracery head. The west side features a two-light casement with glazing bars, arched without switch tracery, while the northwest side has a window casement with a plate window inserted, retaining the switch tracery head.

The building has an eaves string-course and rectangular openings for dovecote, forming a cornice. The hipped roof includes 20th-century dormers and a central brick stack that has been rebuilt in the 20th century.
