Description
The Round House is a pair of cottages, now combined into one, dating from the early 19th century. It features painted brick construction and a thatched roof. This single-storey and attic cottage has a dumbbell shape with four bays and projecting round end bays, along with a 20th-century matching round-ended wing at the rear.
The front facade includes a door in the right centre bay, a two-light casement window to the right, and a single light window to the left, with another window beside it in the left centre bay. The other bays also have two-light casements. Above the two centre bays, there is a long eyebrow dormer with an eight-light casement. All windows are leaded. The roof is hipped with a ridge piece, and at the ends of the centre bays, there are symmetrical stacks of diamond-shaped stacks with yellow moulded pots. The ends of the rounded bays feature open loggias supported by tree trunks on stone padstones, which hold up the eaves and have rounded insets that formerly had doors but now contain two-light windows.
