Monkenhurst

Monkenhurst is a stunning Victorian Gothic house located in New Barnet, London, built in 1880 by architect Peter Dollar. Overlooking Monken Hadley Common, this three-storey red brick structure features a pyramid-capped tower and beautiful stained glass windows that reflect its historical significance, including references to the Wars of the Roses. Notably, it was once home to the famous comedian Spike Milligan, who restored the property and welcomed notable guests like Prince Charles. The house has a rich history, having housed various prominent figures, and is now locally listed, making it an interesting site for tourists and researchers alike.
