Monk's House

Virginia and Leonard Woolf's country retreat is kept so that it feels as if they have just left it for a walk.

The garden is a string of enclosed spaces, with a terrace of millstones, a fishpond garden, an Italian garden, a walled garden and a flower walk, and Virginia's writing lodge sits at the bottom of it.

Southease's twelfth-century round-tower church, one of only three in Sussex, is a short way down the Ouse valley.
