An architecturally rare residence of two adjoined rotunda buildings forming a fairytale-esque home nestled amongst the woodland and arable fields in the Suffolk countryside. Evidence of its origin, one Round appears on a map dated 1725.
This four bed single storey dwelling also has an interesting background having been known to have once belonged to the family of the painter John Constable and also Cambridge Old Queen’s College. The property is centrally positioned within a plot of approximately 0.2 acres which offers peaceful gardens on all sides of the house with an area at the rear with its own access, a cabin and stable.
The current owners, who have lived at the property for nearing forty years now offer the property with no onward chain. They had often considered making alterations to this unique home such as extending the curved walls of the living room even further out, creating another round wing of the house and even making the bedroom wing of the property into two storeys, creating an almost fable like tower. This exciting prospect is now being left to a new owner.
With a house as rare as this and not being listed, the future for its appeal could stay with its current Tolkein-esque features or perhaps be transformed into something more avant garde or minimalist in its architecture with polished concrete floors and open spaces etc. Whatever the vision is to be, it’s sure to remain a unique and hidden gem.
There is ample parking space to the front (that currently is used to park a 30ft motor home and Smart Car back to back) and there is parking for a fairly large vehicle to the rear of the property. There are a selection of sheds, an old stable block - all useful storage and a superb purpose built timber studio for anyone working from home, hobby room or for a small B-C business.
The Round House is located in an accessible yet rural location within easy reach of the village centres of Capel St Mary and Bentley, both offering amenities, pubs and bus routes. The Dedham Vale, an area of Outstanding natural beauty is about 2 miles away with Ipswich, which offers a full range of amenities, schooling and transport links, only 6 miles away. Capel st Mary sits near the A12 linking Ipswich to Colchester, Chelmsford and London. Nearby Manningtree train station provides a direct rail link to London Liverpool Street.
