Try checking your "My Ebay" page. It should show your bid amount. If ebay shows your full bid amount was £2251.50, then the reserve couldn't have been £2000. Otherwise there would be a bug in ebay's handling of reserve auctions. Now, I’m not saying the seller is wrong, nor am I saying the seller is confused, but I would have a lot more confidence in ebay than in this, or any, seller. I have been wrong before, so it’s possible I’m wrong again.

I recieved ebay confirmation that my max bid £2251.50 was placed 22/10 10:43.

The fact that ebay sent you an email confirming your £2251.50 bid, sure does put a VERY large shadow of doubt on what the seller told you the reserve was. If the reserve was actually £2000, then you should have won the action at £2000.

Maybe they cut you a better deal to avoid paying ebay's fees? (I'm such a cynic.)
