Description

Abbey Gardens forms part of the former Duoai School, a historic Gothic building dating back to the 1890s and later converted by Bewley Homes to private residences in 2006. All the properties are individual, with the original features having been retained where possible, with number 26 having stunning stained-glass clerestory windows, panelled and vaulted ceilings, a galleried mezzanine and beautiful wood detailing, which is combined to great effect with contemporary décor. The kitchen in particular is fabulously well appointed with sleek grey cabinetry, premium integrated appliances and roof lanterns to provide excellent natural light. The buildings are set within beautifully maintained communal grounds, which provide plenty of space for relaxing, and this apartment also benefits from its own private terrace.

Outside

Abbey Gardens benefits from well-tended, manicured lawns and shrubbery borders. Number 26 has the advantage of its own private terrace and has two underground parking spaces.

Situation

Abbey Gardens is situated within the grounds of the former Douai School, near the village of Upper Woolhampton. The neighbouring village has a public house and local shops as well as the mainline railway link (at Midgham) to both Theale and Reading, offering fast direct services to London Paddington. In addition there are tennis courts across from Abbey Gardens which are available to use by arrangement along with a cricket pitch and pavilion. The property is located approximately halfway between the thriving commercial centres of Newbury and Reading which both provide excellent shopping, leisure and night life. The property is ideally situated to take advantage of the excellent communication links via the M4 and also the direct rail services from Swindon to London Paddington (about 55 minutes) and the South West. Local schools include Elstree, Bradfield, St. Andrews, Brockhurst, Cheam, Marlston House, Pinewood, Marlborough College and Downe House.

Additional Information

Mains water, electricity and drainage are supplied to the property.
