Acquired back in 2011, Muntri Grove was originally a row of 10 modest houses built as living quarters for workers serving the wealthy families of the grand houses of Muntri Street. These double-storey houses were some of the early houses built in the 19th century with low roofs, small living spaces, and only two rooms each unit. As with most buildings built during that era, these terrace houses feature British influences but the materials used were more modest such as single brick walls and wooden partitions upstairs between the houses. Restoration works on the houses started in 2013, where the architectural framework was maintained as close to its original forms as possible with only minor additions to strengthen the structures as they are. The original parts of the house such as roof trusses, windows, and doors were repaired, maintained and some replaced. Access to the rooms on the ground floor is through the original front doors while on the first floor, the rooms are accessible through an impressive 130 feet-long veranda at the back of the houses. Each housing unit was transformed into two large rooms, one on the ground and one upstairs, each spanning an area of about 450 square feet to afford wide, spacious rooms for guests. The 10th house at the corner was destroyed during World War II and space was rebuilt to house an elevated swimming pool and breakfast area on the first floor and the reception area on the ground floor.
