Abbey Mews, Laleham Park, Staines-Upon-Thames, TW18

A rare opportunity to acquire the quintessential English home. This beautifully presented 3 bedroom, Grade II listed mews home is brimming with character forming part of a cloister, converted from the former coach house and estate offices of the renowned Laleham Abbey. The tranquil development is set in approximately 9.25 acres of idyllic gated parkland grounds within the heart of Laleham Park, and only a short stroll from the River Thames and the picturesque village centre.
Laleham Abbey, formally known as Laleham House has a fascinating history and is a landmark building within the local area. The Grand Palladian mansion was originally built in 1805 for the 2nd Earl of Lucan and the adjacent mews formed the estate offices. The estate was sympathetically converted approximately 40 years ago and now forms a prestigious gated private development with a friendly, vibrant community, set in the heart of Laleham Park on the banks of the River Thames. It is the perfect home if you want peace and tranquillity or are looking for a suitable lock-up-and-leave, as it is close to major road networks, mainline rail links and Heathrow airport.
