Location
The property occupies a convenient position on Cumberland Road, within the established Park/Newtown area of Reading, just off London Road and a short distance from the town centre. The surrounding area is predominantly residential, with a good range of local shops and community amenities close by. Transport links are excellent: Reading railway station, one of the busiest interchanges outside London, lies under a mile away and provides fast, frequent services to London Paddington in as little as 25 minutes, alongside Elizabeth Line, South Western Railway and CrossCountry connections. The M4 is also easily accessible via the A329(M), linking the property to the wider motorway network. The wider area is well served by local amenities, including Reading School — rated Outstanding by Ofsted — and St John’s Church of England Primary School, both within walking distance, as well as the Royal Berkshire Hospital and the University of Reading’s Whiteknights campus. Reading town centre itself offers an extensive range of shopping, dining and leisure amenities, all within easy reach
