Description

The Round House is a detached cottage that once served as a lodge to Charborough Park. It was likely built in the early 19th century and features a "cottage orne" style. The original section has a circular plan with plastered walls and a thatched conical roof topped with an iron weather vane. The building is single-storey and includes five bull's eye windows, one of which is blocked, along with two plain casement windows. There is a verandah supported by timber posts. Later 19th-century additions are made of brick and have slate roofs, comprising both single-storey and two-storey sections, with a part-glazed entrance door and casement windows.

Local climate

Round House receives an average of 770 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 64% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 68% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 15 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 86% of listed buildings. Of these, 5 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.
