The Old Round House

The Old Round House is a small house, likely built in the 18th century. It features painted stone rubble and cob walls, slate sills, and wooden lintels. The roof is covered with cedar shingles and has brick chimneys at the gable ends, with an external stack on the right side. The layout includes a parlour on the left, with a staircase behind it, and a kitchen/living room on the right, which has a shallow service room behind it that may be part of the original outshut. The house is two storeys high, with the first-floor sills resting on the ground floor lintels. The north-east front has an irregular arrangement of two windows, featuring 12-pane, 2-light horizontal sliding sashes from the late 18th to early 19th century. There is a doorway within a 20th-century lean-to porch to the left of the middle. The interior has not been inspected. Manaccan is a village where houses are arranged irregularly around a square, and this is the only house built within that square.
