The Coach House, Abbey Street

About this property

The Coach House sits back from Abbey Street behind its original cobbled forecourt, a brick coach house converted with restraint and a good eye. The carriage doorway has been glazed full-height within its arch and now lights a double-height hall - an entrance few houses in the town can match - with oak floors running on through a decoration of ivory and tan.

The sitting room and dining room open off the hall, and the kitchen is fitted in an in-frame painted design with timber worktops and a larder cupboard. To the first floor, a galleried landing overlooks the hall and leads to three bedrooms, the principal with an en suite shower room, served by a family bathroom. Exposed brick and original timbers appear throughout without dominating.

Outside, the cobbled forecourt provides parking for two cars, with a walled garden to the side laid to lawn with a paved seating terrace. Abbey Street is one of Wexbridge's most characterful corners, two minutes from Market Square; the abbey grounds and riverside walk are at the end of the road.
