<h2 style="text-align: center;">THE HISTORY OF THE ROUND HOUSE</h2>
<p>Built around 1793 by the <a href="https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/34db238e-5e3f-41d1-80ff-76c3467d0bcc">West Harptree Turnpike Trust</a>, the property once served as a toll house when turnpikes were in use. The two-story hexagonal building had a porch hanging over the front door where coach drivers paid the toll.</p>

<p>In the 1850s it was home to the Burridge family who acted as the toll collectors until the Turnpike Trust was abolished in 1876. From 1896 to the 1940s the property was lived in by local man Frederick Rich. After that, the property continued to be lived in until sometime after 2012 when it was left empty.</p>
<p>The Grade II listed property has just three rooms &#8211; a hexagonal kitchen, a bedroom/living area upstairs, and a small shower room &#8211; and only 258 sq ft of space inside.</p>

<p>Despite being in the open countryside, the house doesn&#8217;t even have its own parking. However, there is a layby nearby that could be used.</p>
<p>In December 2016 the property was back on the market having been left empty for offers in excess of £110,000.</p>
