Description
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.
Outside
The property occupies a private plot of about 0.3 of an acre, approached via a large shingle driveway providing parking for several vehicles. The property provides stocked borders and mature planting create an attractive approach, with only one other neighbour.
There is a side entertaining garden which is laid to shingle, brick and raised decking, with a pergola and established wisteria, providing an ideal space for outdoor entertaining. Mature hedging and trees offer an excellent degree of privacy.
The rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn, enclosed by mature hedge and tree-lined borders, with attractive farmland views to the side.
Services
Private drainage treatment plan installed in 2022, oil-fired heating and mains electricity connected.

Location
Positioned just west of the town, Buttleys Lane enjoys a tucked-away position while still benefiting from excellent access to local amenities and transport links. The town has well regarded primary and secondary schools, including Dunmow St Mary’s, Great Dunmow Primary and Helena Romanes School, which provides all-through education from early years to sixth form. Independent options, such as Felsted School, is within 6 miles.
The cottage sits towards the end of the lane, on the fringe of the Flitch Way, with direct access from Buttleys Lane. Flitch Way is a 15-mile country park that follows the route of the former railway line. It provides a corridor for walking, cycling and horse riding, linking a series of picturesque villages and offering access to woodland, open countryside and wildlife.
The historic Great Dunmow high street is home to an excellent range of independent shops, cafés, pubs and everyday services, giving the town a vibrant and welcoming feel. Larger retail needs are well catered for too, with a Tesco Superstore on the edge of town.
Great Dunmow is also extremely well-connected. The A120 is located adjacent to the cottage offering fast links to the A12, M11 and wider road network. Stansted Airport is approximately 10-15 minutes by car, providing international travel as well as rail connections into London Liverpool Street.
