The vibrant town centre is right on your doorstep, with The Oracle shopping centre offering a wide variety of shops, restaurants, cafés, bars, and entertainment venues. For those seeking green space, the riverside walks along the Kennet and Thames are easily accessible, as are Forbury Gardens and other nearby parks, providing a welcome balance to city living.

Road connections are equally convenient, with easy access to the A33, M4, and well-served local bus routes, making this an ideal base for commuters and those who value connectivity.
