Description

This is a late 19th-century estate cottage located on Easton Framlingham Road. It is circular in plan and constructed of red brick with vertical panels of random flint, topped with a thatched conical roof. The cottage has one storey and an attic. The windows are casement windows with flat brick arches. A prominent feature is a 5-light canted bay with a rectangular panel containing a crown monogram. There are segmental dormer windows in each quarter of the roof. Two doorways are present, one with a boarded door and glazed porch. At the roof apex is a stack with a circular base and four clustered flues.

The Round Cottage 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.
