Description

The Round House is an estate cottage built in the late 19th century, with a mid-20th century extension. It features red brick construction and a thatched conical roof. The building is single storey with an attic and has a circular plan. It includes casement windows with flat brick arches, a 5-light canted bay window with a rectangular panel displaying a crown monogram, and one segmental dormer window on each quarter. The doorway has a mid-20th century door and is sheltered by an open porch created by a downward extension of the roof. At the top of the roof, there is a stack with a circular base and four clustered flues.

Local climate

The Round House sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 670 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 99% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 79% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 26 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 73% of listed buildings. Of these, 13 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.
