House in shape of bottle

A post about an octagonal house might as well follow one about a round house (see my Cheadle Round House post), but this dwelling is just as small as the Cheadle Round House.
This building is in Tixall, but, yes, it is another 'lodge' house. It is called 'Bottle Lodge' - for obvious reasons I suppose.

It's 200 years old.

Round house

Why anyone would want to build a round house is a mystery to me.  The 'Round House' in Cheadle is tiny. 
In the nineteenth century, it only served as a lodge to a bigger property up the hill, so maybe it was just a whim to build it.

It was lived in as a residence, amazingly, until just a few years ago (split into four minuscule rooms!) - and then a local benefactor bought it and restored it.
