East Rounton is a civil parish in the former Hambleton District of North Yorkshire, England. It contains twelve listed buildings that are recorded in the National Heritage List for England. Of these, two are listed at Grade II*, the middle of the three grades, and the others are at Grade II, the lowest grade. The parish contains the village of East Rounton and the surrounding area. The most important building in the parish was Rounton Grange, but this was demolished in 1954.[1] Some of the associated structures in the grounds have survived, and are listed. The other listed buildings consist of a church, a bridge, a former school, a village hall, houses and a farmhouse.
The bridge carries a road over the River Wiske. It is in stone and consists of a single recessed arch. The bridge has voussoirs, a hood mould, and a parapet with rounded coping, sweeping out at the corners, and ending in round piers with flattened domical tops.[3]
The house is in brownish brick with a Welsh slate roof. There are two storeys and three bays, and a recessed three-storey single-bay extension to the south. Three steps lead to a central doorway that has a fanlight. The windows are sashes in architraves, with stuccoedlintels incised with false voussoirs, and at the rear is a round-headed stair window.[4]
A farmhouse and four cottages on the left, designed by Philip Webb, in red brick with diagonal corner buttresses, a cogged and stepped floor band, and a half-hippedpantile roof. There are two storeys and attics, six bays, and a three-bay rear wing on the right. The doorways have fanlights, the windows are sashes, and all the ground floor openings have segmental relieving arches. The farmhouse on the right has a pent porch.[5][6]
The buildings were designed by Philip Webb, and are in red brick with stone dressings, weatherboarding and plaster, and have pantile roofs. They form a square plan around a covered yard. The main front has two storeys and five bays, with a wide central carriage arch on imposts. Above it is a coved jetty with weatherboarding, and the outer bays are in brick. The windows in the middle bays are sashes, and in the outer bays they are casements. The rear ranges have a single bay.[1][7]
The older building was a coach house designed by Philip Webb, in brick with angle buttresses and a pantile roof.

The entrance is at the rear under a pent roof, and the windows are casements, those in the attic are tall half-dormers with hipped roofs and deep eavessoffits.[1][10]

There is one storey and attics, and a T-shaped plan with fronts of two bays. The windows are sashes, some with triangular hood moulds, and at the rear is a flat-roofed dormer.[5][11]

The house, designed by George Jack, is in pebbledashed brick, and has a hippedpantile roof extending into catslides at the sides. There are two storeys, a central block of three bays, and flanking recessed single-bay wings. In the angle on the right is a small porch, the windows in the main block are sashes, and in the wings they are casements. In the centre is a round-arched recess containing a window, above which is a plaque.[14]
The village hall and attached cottages, forming a U-shaped plan, were designed by George Jack, and are in brick, partly pebbledashed, with hipped swept pantile roofs, and two storeys. The village hall has seven bays divided by buttresses with shaped heads, and a dentilledstring course. The middle bay projects and contains an oriel window in the upper floor, above which is a clock in an open dentilled quasi-pediment. In the outer bays are doorways with segmental heads, the ground floor contains casement windows and the windows in the upper floor are sashes. On the roof is a bell-cupola with a square copper dome and a weathervane. The cottages project as three-bay wings, each with two cantedbay windows under a bracketed tiled hood, and elsewhere are sash windows.[5][15]
