Description

The Round House is a toll house that has been converted into a residence. It dates from the late 18th century and features a 20th-century addition at the rear. The building is constructed of grey brick with red dressings, chaînage, and a plat band. It has a slate roof topped with a central octagonal chimney. The house has an octagonal plan and stands two storeys high. Each face of the building has segmental headed two-light diamond leaded Gothick casements, except for the west side, which has a black segmental headed window on the first floor. There is a gabled porch on the west side that includes a segmental headed doorway with a 20th-century boarded door, as well as single diamond leaded Gothick lights on the north and south sides.
