Description
The Round House is a former lodge, dating to around 1820. It was possibly designed by G S Repton for Edward Sheppard. The building is constructed of coursed rubble limestone with ashlar dressings and has a plain tile roof. It has a circular form with a rectangular addition. The original circular lodge is two storeys high and features three doorway recesses on the ground floor, spaced at approximately 120-degree intervals. Each recess has a concave wall and a pair of Tuscan columns supporting the wall above. Trefoil-headed panels are found on the doors, with a single two-light chamfered mullioned casement window above each doorway and at the points between them. A hollow-moulded cornice runs along the top of the walls, above which is a plain parapet and a conical roof. The geometrical arrangement of the circular lodge is disrupted by the later rectangular addition, which features 20th-century two-light mullioned casement windows and glazed doors. A Regency-style iron canopy is present on the west front at ground floor level. The interior of the building has not been inspected. The Round House is located in an isolated position near a track that originally formed a circuitous approach to The Ridge, a house now demolished in Wotton-Under-Edge civil parish.
