A beautifully presented two-bedroom ground-floor apartment set within the historic Abbey Gardens, offering allocated parking and no onward chain. The property features spacious open-plan living, a well-equipped kitchen, and generous bedrooms. Available as a shared ownership or to purchase in full.
A rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented two-bedroom ground-floor apartment, set within the charming grounds of the former Douai Abbey School. Offered with off-road parking and no onward chain, this home enjoys a truly special setting surrounded by miles of picturesque countryside.
The property is available on a 30% shared ownership basis, with the option to purchase a full 100% share (valued at £245,000). For 2025/26, the monthly rent is £663.72, with service charges of £298.31, and the remaining lease term is approximately 106 years.
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.
This property would make a wonderful first-time purchase, offering an ideal step onto the property ladder in a truly unique and scenic location.

Stamp duty calculator provided by The Property Hive is intended to provide an estimate of the stamp duty land tax payable on a residential property purchase in England or Northern Ireland. However, the calculator is provided for general information purposes only and should not be relied upon as a substitute for professional legal or tax advice. The actual amount of stamp duty payable may differ from the estimate provided by the calculator, depending on various factors such as the purchase price, the property type, and the buyer's circumstances. Property Hive does not accept any liability for any loss or damage arising from the use of, or reliance upon, the stamp duty calculator. It is recommended that you seek independent legal and tax advice before making any property purchase decisions.
Regulations require that we undertake identity and AML checks, and secure information on the circumstances of your purchase in line with our obligations to verify your identity and complete Customer Due diligence as part of you agreeing any offer with our client. These are dictated by regulation and enforced by trading standards. Whilst we retain responsibility for ensuring checks are carried out correctly and for ongoing monitoring, the initial checks are carried out on our behalf by Lifetime Legal who will contact you once you have agreed to instruct us in your sale or made an offer on a property you wish to buy that is provisionally agreeable to our client.
We have looked to provide benefits alongside undertaking these checks to ensure this is not an additional cost to you. These include complementary Lifetime Legal membership for 3 months, and where you use Chancellors Conveyancing services we have also arranged for this cost to include the AML/ Customer due diligence cost your solicitor would normally charge you for their regulated required checks. The cost of these checks is £80 plus VAT (£96 inc VAT), which covers the cost of obtaining relevant data and any manual checks and monitoring which might be required. This fee is paid in advance, directly to Lifetime Legal and is non-refundable.
