A Quintessential Village Residence of Rare Distinction

Discreetly tucked away in a peaceful, private setting in the heart of the picturesque village of Whitchurch, Mary Monks House is a beautifully restored Grade II listed home offering over 6,000 sq. ft. of versatile living space. Dating back to the late 18th century and set within approximately 1.5 acres of landscaped gardens and mature woodland, this exceptional family residence blends timeless heritage with modern comforts in a way few properties can match.

An Elegant Family Home

The main house is rich in period character and thoughtfully arranged for modern family living. On the ground floor, a welcoming hallway leads into a series of elegant and well-proportioned reception rooms, including a grand drawing room, a formal sitting room, a dining room ideal for entertaining, and a private study. The charming farmhouse-style kitchen is complemented by a bright breakfast area and a practical utility room. A rear hallway and cloakroom complete the ground floor

Upstairs, the principal suite provides a luxurious retreat with its own en suite bathroom and dressing room. A second bedroom also enjoys en suite facilities, making it perfect for guests. There are four further spacious bedrooms, each fitted with a basin, as well as a well-appointed family bathroom and a separate WC.

In addition to the main accommodation, a beautifully converted stable offers selfcontained living space with a bedroom, shower room, and living area—perfect for guests, extended family, or use as a home office or studio.

Gardens and Grounds

The property is approached via a sweeping gravel driveway that opens into a generous parking area and leads to a detached double garage. The grounds are a true highlight, thoughtfully landscaped to offer a private and tranquil outdoor environment. A heated swimming pool provides a wonderful focal point for summer entertaining, while a fullsize hard tennis court sits surrounded by lawns, mature trees, and woodland, offering both recreation and peace in equal measure.
