This stately old lady has lost none of her warmth and allure in 164 years, and will seduce you with her much understated elegance and charm, as much in evidence to-day as ever it was, if not now indeed enhanced by the careful and sympathetic embedding of all the technical services and facilities necessary to sustain life in the fast lane of the 21st century. The accommodation at Number One Monkswell Road is traditional and of high standard, whilst equipment levels throughout the house are exceptional, and very highly rated by guests.
