4 Bed Flat For Sale Reading, RG7

Abbey Gardens forms part of the former Duoai School, a historic Gothic building dating back to the 1890s and later converted by Bewley Homes to private residences in 2006. All the properties are individual, with the original features having been retained where possible, with number 26 having stunning stained-glass clerestory windows, panelled and vaulted ceilings, a galleried mezzanine and beautiful wood detailing, which is combined to great effect with contemporary décor. The kitchen in particular is fabulously well appointed with sleek grey cabinetry, premium integrated appliances and roof lanterns to provide excellent natural light. The buildings are set within beautifully maintained communal grounds, which provide plenty of space for relaxing, and this apartment also benefits from its own private terrace.

Outside

Abbey Gardens benefits from well-tended, manicured lawns and shrubbery borders. Number 26 has the advantage of its own private terrace and has two underground parking spaces.
