Location

The property occupies a prominent position on the north side of Berkeley Avenue and west side of the A33 arterial road, in a mixed use location towards the centre of the major Berkshire town of Reading.

Reading town centre with its multiple facilities including the Oracle Shopping Complex lies approximately 0.5 miles to the north, whilst Junction 11 of the M4 Motorway lies approximately 2.5 miles to the south.

The property lies approximately 1 mile to the south of Reading Railway Station which provides direct services to London Waterloo and London Paddington.

From December 2019 the £14.8bn Crossrail service will be departing from Reading twice hourly, providing direct services through the city of London to Shenfield, with Bond Street accessible in under one hour.

Crossrail will deliver cutting edge, high capacity trains which will help reduce overcrowding at peak times and provide a cleaner, more environmentally friendly rail service into central London.
 
The property’s immediate vicinity provides a mix of commercial properties and six storey apartment blocks.
