Roundhill Estate

Behind the scenes

If you have to ask the price, you can't afford it

This is Roundhill, near Wincanton in England and it is being offered by Savills of Mayfair.

It was built by Nathaniel Webb, sugar-merchant and slave owner, whose portrait we were given by a descendant in 2007.

But if ₤6,000,000 seems about right, then here is the property for you - and there's a nice local connection too.

But Mr Webb met a sticky end right here, as described in the Universal Spectator and Weekly Journal of Saturday, February 7, 1741

So always use a proper ladder and contact Sarah Nicholson at Savills to arrange a time to view the property.
