Munstead Water Tower stands on top of a hill four miles south west of Guildford. Brick-built and 130ft high, it was erected in 1898 to supply water to the surrounding houses in Munstead and neighbouring villages and was in use for approximately 70 years. The Water Tower had been out of use for nearly twenty years and was sold at auction 1989. The refurbished and re-designed tower now consists of six floors with a reception room on the ground floor, and one bedroom on each of the first, second and third floors. One large room occupies each floor, varying from 25-30 feet across with suspended hanging bathrooms in the bedroom levels and a gallery within the living room. Allowing this beautiful old water tower to be converted into a residence has assured its future and provided an appropriate alternative use. The water tower is still my own home.
