Revolutionary Country Residence Designed by Architects, Named Among Top 12 Homes in Britain

In this week's selection of the best country houses for sale, we take a look at two stunning properties - The Round House in the Cotswolds and a magnificent Cumbrian country house.

The Round House, Cotswolds

The Round House, located in the heart of the Cotswolds, is a charming country house that underwent a transformation in 1999 by a local architect. More recently, it was modernized and extended by British architect Michaelis Boyd, resulting in a stunning property that enjoys total privacy and offers magnificent views.

The living accommodation in The Round House is bright and spacious, with generous reception spaces. The bedroom accommodation includes five double bedrooms, three of which are en suite, and a family bathroom. The outdoor space at The Round House offers a heated swimming pool, a terrace, and room for further development (subject to necessary consents).

The Round House is set in five acres of landscaped gardens and grounds and is currently listed for sale via Knight Frank. Interested parties can find more pictures and details on Knight Frank's platform.

The Cumbrian Country House

The Cumbrian country house, another property in our selection, is situated on the edge of the village of Paxford, two miles from Chipping Campden and five miles from Moreton-in-Marsh. This magnificent house offers a self-contained, one-bedroom annexe in the facing courtyard.

Moreton-in-Marsh provides a regular train service to London Paddington, making this property an ideal choice for those seeking a peaceful retreat while still being connected to the city.

The source for this information about The Cumbrian country house is Strutt and Parker.
