While at Asham, in 1916 Leonard and Virginia found a farmhouse to let about four miles away, which they thought would be ideal for her sister. Eventually, Vanessa came down to inspect it, and took possession in October of that year, as a summer home for her family. The [[Charleston Farmhouse]] was to become the summer gathering place for the Bloomsbury Group.{{sfn|Bell|1972|loc=Vol II: 1915–1918}}{{page needed|date=June 2024}}
The Woolfs spent the period of the [[First World War]] in Asham,{{sfn|Lee|1997a|p=346}} but after its end in 1918 they were given a year's notice by the landlord, who needed the house. In mid-1919, "in despair", they purchased "a very strange little house" for £300, the Round House in Pipe Passage, Lewes, a converted windmill.{{sfn|Bell|1972|loc=Chronology |pp=199–201}}{{sfn|Bell|1972|p=176}}{{sfn|Woolf|1964|p=57}} No sooner had they bought the Round House, than [[Monk's House]] in nearby [[Rodmell]], came up for auction, a [[weatherboarded]] house with oak-beamed rooms, said to be 15th or 16th century. The Woolfs favoured the latter because of its orchard and garden, and sold the Round House to purchase Monk's House for £700.{{sfn|Maggio|2009}}{{sfn|Todd|1999|p=13}}
