Why they chose this property
Newly refurbished to a high standard, fresh modern house with own private driveway parking right in the centre of Reading town centre and 1 minute walk from the centre of the amazing Oracle and minutes from the main line train station to the rest of the country. Located in a very quiet street with hardly any traffic or passers by, so lovely and peaceful although in the middle of the action! Pretty unique we think! :o) Here is a review from Amy Celino-Potter that stayed in the house recently - "We stayed in Tessa’s super-convenient and clean house for a week, really well-placed and just a few minutes walk to the High Street and the Oracle, also walkable from the station, but down a nice quiet side street. The kitchen equipment was all modern and worked well, as did the brand new shower. Good wifi connection. The toddler in the family enjoyed the kiddie films on offer. Tessa was always incredibly friendly and professional, quickly replying to any queries with helpful advice."
What makes this property unique
Completely refurbished, Child Stair-gate, brand new travel cot provided, Lego and some toys. Futon in lounge downstairs allows for 1 more guest. You cannot get closer to the action in town yet retain a quiet, relaxing street and house atmosphere. Connections quickly to London, the South West, the North of England and major roads and motorways.
