Daring new house for sale
The Round Tower near Cirencester is a daring new house made from an ingeniously converted former hunting lodge


One of the Cotswolds' most daring new houses, the brainchild of developer James Perkins, The Round Tower is an ingeniously converted Grade II-listed former hunting lodge, once part of the Bathurst estate, which stands in four acres of grassland between Siddington and South Cerney, two miles from Cirencester.
The eye-catching stone tower conceals a remarkable 21st-century house, centred around a subterranean open-plan reception area incorporating kitchen, dining room and sitting room, with two en-suite bedrooms on the floor above.
Full-height sliding doors lead to a private stone courtyard with a swimming pool and views over open country, within a framework of smooth green lawns.
Price: The Round Tower, near Cirencester, Gloucestershire: Knight Frank (01285 659771) and Savills (01285 627550) quote a guide price of £1.5m.

Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by His Majesty The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
