Full Details for 2 Bedroom Apartment for sale in Maidenhead, SL1 :
Built between 1905 and 1909 and designed by the renowned British Arts & Crafts architect, Sir Edwin Lutyens, the property was commissioned by the Secretary of State to Czar Alexander II, Prince Alexis Dolgoruki and his wife, as a weekend retreat for the Russian royalty.
The building was named Nashdom, meaning 'our home' in Russian.
In 1929 the building was purchased by Benedictine Monks and became known as it is today, as Nashdom Abbey.
The property was carefully converted to apartments in 1997, retaining its air of regal flamboyance and character charm throughout.
Nashdom Abbey is nestled within tranquil surroundings on the edge of the beautiful Burnham Beeches, just north of the picturesque village of Burnham. All the amenities required for day to day living can be found within the village, with the vibrant town centres of Maidenhead, Marlow and Windsor also providing a variety of shopping and leisure facilities within close proximity.
The property is also served by excellent transport links providing connections to the north, London and the south west via the M40, M25 and M4. Burnham station offers a high speed train service into London Paddington, with the future Crossrail also set to extend this link to east London by 2019.
