Description

Enjoying a beautiful, yet very accessible rural setting, Nashdom Abbey is a magnificent restored Grade II* listed country house standing in 17 acres of grounds and woodland and use of a communal hard tennis court, heated outdoor swimming pool, barbeque area and pavilion with gymnasium.

This fine apartment is beautifully presented throughout and is located on the second floor in the more recently built East Wing and with lift access. A highlight is the inclusion of a dedicated garage and parking space, making it the perfect choice for professionals, downsizers and an ideal lock up and leave property. The apartment is conveniently situated for the Elizabeth Line running from Taplow and Burnham stations, both just about 2.5 miles away with trains into central London.

The communal areas are well appointed, with a shared entrance hall with stairs and a lift to the first and second floors. The open plan sitting/dining room enjoys elevated woodland views, creating a peaceful and private setting, with wood flooring extending to most of the rooms in the apartment. There is a decorative fireplace with gas fire, and ample room to relax, dine and entertain. The kitchen is well appointed with an excellent range of gloss units complemented by worktops and integrated appliances including three ovens, coffee machine, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, gas hob and washing machine.

The principal bedroom is well proportioned with two built-in wardrobes and a luxurious en suite bathroom complete with a freestanding bath. A further bedroom is currently arranged as a dressing room and offers flexibility but is perfect as a guest bedroom, served by a family shower room across the hall.

Historical Note
In 1898, the Russian Prince Alexis Dolgorouki married Frances Wilson, heiress of Fleetwood and commissioned Sir Edwin Lutyens to build Nashdom (Russian for ‘our home’). In 1929 the ownership passed to a Benedictine Order who lived in and cared for Nashdom as an abbey for half a century until they left to merge with a larger monastery near Newbury. The mansion was converted in 1997 to luxury apartments.
