The Round House, Stanton Drew, Thatched cottage in Stanton Drew, England
The Round House features a hexagonal design with two stories, traditional thatched roofing, and exposed wooden beams throughout its compact interior structure.
Built in 1793 by the West Harptree Turnpike Trust, this former toll house collected fees from passing carriages using a pouch hung on the door.
The building represents the heritage of rural English architecture and demonstrates the historical importance of toll collection systems in transportation networks.
Located between Chew Magna and Pensford, the 24-square-meter residence contains a kitchen and shower room downstairs with a bedroom upstairs.
A family of eight previously resided in this small space, utilizing bunk beds constructed within the roof rafters to maximize living arrangements.
