Description
The Round House is a toll house, now functioning as a residence, likely built in the early 19th century and converted and extended around 1980. It features rubble walls with brick dressings, a central brick chimney stack, and a slate roof with lead ridges. The building is two storeys high and faces north. Its semi-octagonal front includes a front door set within a rebuilt stone-walled porch that has a slated hip roof. The narrow casement windows, which have glazing bars, are located in the angles flanking the front and are set in segmental brick arch openings; the first-floor windows are only half the height of the ground-floor windows. The rear extension, added around 1980, is rendered and has an asbestos slate-hung first floor.
