Asheham House and Monk s House
Virginia Woolf was the first of the group to abandon London, though not fully until her city home was destroyed during WWII. In need of the kind of solitude that only the countryside could offer, the author found a property in Firle and started to frequent the house from January 1911. The lease on the house was short, but while Woolf stayed there, she called it Little Talland House in reference to a childhood home of hers in Cornwall.
