Buttleys LaneDunmow, Essex, CM6 1SJ

The Round House is a charming Grade II listed three/four-bedroom, late 18th/early 19th-century timber-framed and plastered brick home, offered for sale with no onward chain.

Originally built as a lodge to Minchins, an old reputed manor and moated farmhouse site, the property retains considerable character, including exposed timbers, an inglenook fireplace and a water reed thatched roof, which was re-thatched in the 1980s (typically lasting about 60 years). The ridge was also renewed in December 2021.

The property enjoys a wonderfully established garden with an overplot of about 0.3 of an acre.

The ground floor provides a welcoming entrance hall, cloakroom, well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room with utility, dining room, spacious sitting room with wood-burning stove and a large conservatory overlooking the garden. Upstairs are three generous bedrooms, a family bathroom and a fourth, smaller bedroom currently arranged as a home office, making it equally suited as a nursery or occasional bedroom.
