A five-minute walk from this modern, stylish apartment sees you in the centre of Reading. Big shops, restaurants and cafés fill the streets and the main train station is just fifteen minutes away on foot, getting you into London in around twenty-five minutes if you want. In the apartment, a big arched window opens up to a Juliet balcony in the living room. Lightwood floors, deep blue furnishings and pops of greenery courtesy of trailing houseplants create a zen-like space. The L-shaped sofa beckons after a day of shopping in town, and the kitchen has everything you need for self-catering if you don’t fancy heading out to one of the many restaurants in the surrounding neighbourhood.
