The Space:

Long weeks away from home take their toll. A proper flat in central Reading with free parking and space to actually live.



Welcome to a real base in the heart of Reading --- where the flat works as hard as the people staying in it.



💥 Sound familiar?



❌ Patchy WiFi that drops out halfway through a timesheet or a video call home

❌ Street parking nightmares --- permits, fines, twenty minutes circling after a long shift

❌ A kitchen with one saucepan, no coffee maker, and half a toilet roll

❌ Sheets that haven't been changed properly. Hairs in the drawers. A fridge that smells

❌ Hosts who take three days to answer a simple question

❌ No bath, no decent shower, and a thermostat that doesn't do anything



None of that here.



✅ Here's What You Get:



🛏 King-Size Zip-Link Bed --- sleeps as a king or splits into two singles. Real mattress, proper linen, room-darkening blinds for shift workers and early risers



🛋️ Sofa Bed in the Living Room --- space for a colleague staying over or a partner visiting for the weekend



📶 250Mbps WiFi + Dedicated Workspace --- timesheets, Zoom calls, remote work, banking, streaming, FaceTime home. No dead zones, no dropouts



🚗 FREE Secure Multistorey Parking --- drive straight in, no permits, no street hunting, no daily charges. Vans fit comfortably. Hard to find this in central Reading and it's included at no cost



🍳 Fully Equipped Kitchen --- oven, hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, blender, toaster, Nespresso machine, crockery, pots and pans. Cook real meals, save the per diem, and eat properly for once. Coffee and basics stocked on arrival



🛁 Proper Bath + Hot Water --- soak after a long shift or a long day settling in.



Central heating with a controllable thermostat and consistent hot water



🧺 Washer with Drying Function --- clean work gear on-site or keep on top of laundry during a relocation. Iron and drying rack also included



📺 TV + Board Games + Books --- switch off after a shift or keep yourself occupied on a quiet evening



🔐 Self Check-In via Lockbox --- 5am start, late arrival, or middle-of-the-night check-in. Just turn up and let yourself in



🧹 Professionally Cleaned Before Every Stay --- fresh linens, fresh towels, shampoo, conditioner, body wash. Everything stocked, no surprises



🎥 CCTV outside the property --- peace of mind for the building and the car park
