Abbey Gardens forms part of the historic Douai Abbey School, a Grade II listed building dating back to the 1800s and thoughtfully converted into residential homes in 2007. The development blends character and heritage with modern living, offering beautifully maintained communal grounds, including a private paddock for residents to enjoy.

Nestled in Upper Woolhampton, within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the location offers a perfect balance of peaceful countryside living and excellent connectivity. Mainline stations with direct services to London Paddington, as well as Junction 12 of the M4, are just a short seven-minute drive away. Both Reading and Newbury are easily accessible, while scenic walks can be enjoyed right from your doorstep.

Positioned on the ground floor, the apartment provides well-proportioned and thoughtfully arranged accommodation throughout. A spacious open-plan living and dining area flows seamlessly into a well-equipped kitchen, creating a welcoming and sociable living space.

There are two bedrooms, including a generous principal bedroom with built-in storage, alongside a modern family bathroom and two additional storage cupboards.

Externally, the property benefits from an allocated parking space, with residents also enjoying access to expansive communal grounds and a children’s play area-ideal for those seeking outdoor space in a tranquil setting.
