Roundway Farmhouse

Roundway Farmhouse is an early 18th-century farmhouse, likely built on an earlier core and altered around 1900. The ground floor is roughcast over brick, with a slate hipped roof and an axial ridge stack. The building is two storeys and has an attic, with two hipped dormers. A coved eaves cornice runs along the top. The first floor has four unevenly spaced small-paned casement windows. On the ground floor, there is a six-panel door with a pedimented timber hood, along with two similar triple casement windows to the left and one to the right. The west end features some rubble stone at ground floor level. A brick ridge stack marks a circa 1900 rear addition. Local tradition suggests that General Sir William Waller, commander of the Parliamentary forces, is believed to have taken breakfast at the farmhouse before his defeat by the Royalists at Roundway Down on 13 July 1643.
