The Office Space
Based in the historic Shaw House, the largest Elizabethan manor house in Berkshire, this workspace offers a unique and prestigious setting for professional work. Built in 1581 and meticulously restored in 2007, the Grade I listed building blends rich heritage with modern functionality. It is well-suited for teams seeking an environment with character, having previously served as a Civil War hospital and a strategic WWII base.
Tenants benefit from a professional atmosphere during weekday public opening hours, typically from 8:00 am to 5:30 pm. For breaks or informal catch-ups, an on-site café serves fresh coffee, tea, and light refreshments throughout the day.
