About this property
Centre of Town, 3 bedrooms, sleeps 6, own parking and patio close to The Oracle
This lovely modern 3 bedroom house is in a quiet private street but is also only 1 minute walk to Reading’s premier shopping destination, The Oracle which hosts 90 shops, combining chic boutiques with major department stores like Debenhams and House of Fraser. With a 10 screen Vue cinema and a wide range of eateries, there’s plenty to do besides shopping too.
This location is also excellent for business and conferences being minutes from Thames Valley Business Park, Green Park and also Reading Stadium.
This modern house has a fresh and clean 'feel' to it having been recently refurbished to a high standard in the last couple of years, with a brand new fitted kitchen, new bathroom, new carpets, new furniture and painted throughout.
It is in a quiet street with little traffic or passers by.
Free private off street parking in front of the house and a visitor additional use permit (free parking in the centre of Reading is rare!)
The property now has a brand new Samsung Crystal 50” 4K television with apps, logged into:- Apple, Disney, Amazon films and TV accounts suitable for adults and children, so perfect for those rainy nights in. The lounge has 2 x sofas and beanbag so plenty of room to ‘chill out’.
There is an outdoor private patio with table and chairs, perfect for spring and summer evening drinks or dining Alfresco!
It's only a 10 minute stroll to the major Reading railway station which connect visitors to London in 25 minutes (Reading to London Paddington). It's also really quick drive to M4, M25, M3, M40, A4, A329M, Winnersh Triangle etc.
There is so much to love about Reading and so much to do from Shopping to Festivals, Jazz clubs, the Reading Hexagon, Reading University and the River Thames to name a few.
NEW Child Stair-gate, brand new travel cot provided, Lego and some toys and childs bed in third bedroom
This house can now sleep up to 5 adults and a travel cot and now a brand new futon downstairs in the lounge as well which pulls out into a double bed, plus a good quality fold out single bed.
We will endeavour to make your stay as comfortable and relaxing as possible.

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."
