"This is my first home away from home and I’ve loved every minute of the 9 years that I’ve lived here.

As a young professional, this flat has been perfect for me. The location of the flat is great – its about a 3 minute walk in to Reading town centre making it very convenient for shopping, any amenities and also for transport links to go in and out of London. The flat is about a 10 minute walk from Reading train station as well as Reading West Station and it is perfect for all of the bus lines that run through Reading town centre. Caversham river is about a 15 minute walk away which is perfect in the summer for an evening stroll.

Right outside of the flat there are a number of convenient shops and takeaways, Rise bakery, Hotpod yoga and every 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month, there is a Farmers market which is about a 5 minute walk away. The Biscuit Factory and Broad Street Mall are also about a 2 minute walk away – you can see them from the flat!

Given that the flat is a few moments away from the town centre and on the first floor, you hardly hear any hustle and bustle which has been lovely as it is very peaceful and not noisy.

Regarding parking for the flat, there is a car park space in the car park which are under the flats – it is heavily discounted and you pay for the permit annually. There are also paid spaces along the road for any visitors and after 8pm this is free.

The flat has a south facing terrace/balcony and in the summer it is a sun trap. You will get the sun all day long – there has been many of times, I have sat outside with some friends whilst the sun is shining which is rare for a flat within the building and also in the town centre.

This flat is a very big one bedroom flat. It was made with accessibility in mind so the door frames are wider as well as the hallway and bathroom. The flat has a big fitted wardrobe in which has been ideal for myself (I have a lot of clothes to hide away!). It is perfect for single occupancy like myself or for a couple as you won’t feel like you’re living on top of each other.

I will be really sad to say goodbye to this flat as I have made lots of memories here as well as for the convenience of popping in to town and London however I know whoever ends up buying the flat will love it just as much as I do (plus you’ll have great neighbours 😊)."
