Abbey Gardens, Reading, RG7

Description

This elegant mews-style home is part of the prestigious Abbey Gardens development, set within the grounds of the former Douai School, a Grade II-listed Benedictine Abbey established in Upper Woolhampton in 1903. Sympathetically restored and converted by Bewley Homes in 2006, the development retains many period features, including striking double-height ceilings, blending historic charm with contemporary comfort.

The property offers spacious and private accommodation with generous natural light from north-east and south-west aspects. The flowing layout comprises a 24ft sitting room, separate formal dining room, and a modern kitchen and breakfast room featuring quartz surfaces, fitted appliances, and extensive storage. A cloakroom, laundry room, and additional storage under the stairs add practical convenience.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom enjoys an en suite bath and shower room, while a second en suite double bedroom is ideal for guests. Two further double bedrooms share a family bathroom, and all bedrooms feature built-in wardrobes.
