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.

Residents enjoy beautifully maintained communal gardens and extensive grounds, including Douai Park, with its tennis and cricket facilities. The estate is supported by dedicated grounds staff and an on-site Estate Manager. The surrounding grounds also provide access to a sports field with tennis courts and new paddle courts currently under construction. The cricket pavilion is a particular social hub, hosting frequent community and social activities throughout the year. The property also benefits from two secure undercroft allocated parking spaces.

Abbey Gardens is conveniently located near Upper Woolhampton village, with its local shops and pub, and close to Midgham station, providing direct rail links to Reading, Theale and London Paddington. Positioned between Newbury and Reading, the area offers excellent shopping, leisure and nightlife, together with convenient access to the M4 and the surrounding Berkshire countryside.

The property is particularly well placed for families, with a number of highly regarded independent schools within easy reach, including Elstree School and Bradfield College, as well as St Andrew’s, Brockhurst, Cheam, Marlston House, Pinewood, Marlborough College and Downe House. The combination of beautiful grounds, sporting facilities and the active social scene centred around the cricket pavilion adds to the appeal of this exceptional setting.
