THE SPACE
Available by c. 7th August (paperwork takes 2-3 weeks). This is an exceptionally spacious (19’2 x 11’2”), bright, and airy room featuring high ceilings and neutral decor. Thanks to the incredible floor space, it feels more like a self-contained studio than a standard bedroom.

Includes CLEANER once a month.

It comes PART-FURNISHED with a relatively new king-size bed, a bookcase, and a TV stand. There is also a large solid wood table which you are welcome to keep in the space or replace with your own items if preferred.

BRAND-NEW FURNITURE INCLUDED
The massive bedroom comes with two brand-new, unopened furniture sets which I can get assembled if you would like them:

- Complete IKEA Home Office / Dining Set: Includes a large white LAGKAPTEN tabletop matching white ADILS legs, and two classic white, solid wood INGOLF cross-back chairs. Perfect as a spacious workspace or a private dining setup.

- unho Luxury Marble Console Table: A modern, space-saving slimline table featuring a sturdy black metal frame and a heat- and scratch-resistant real sintered stone white marble-effect top.

Please note: The room currently has a bare floor rather than a carpet. I’m in the process of replacing the flooring throughout the flat, but I won’t be doing that until later this year. The room has been priced with this in mind.

You're welcome to paint the walls to make it feel like home, as long as it's kept to a neat, neutral colour.

ABOUT THE LANDLORD & HOUSEHOLD VIBE
You will be sharing a clean, quiet, and relaxed home with a live-in landlord. It’s a peaceful space designed to unwind in. I do enjoy a glass of wine and a chat so some socialising would be welcome. 😊

I’m a 48 year-old woman whose daughter has recently moved out. I have a politics degree and used to run my own online writing and editing company. I’ve recently taught myself how to do daytrading which I’m just getting started on. I was born in London but have spent several years living in Cornwall before coming back to Reading a few years ago.

n. b. I will be going travelling this year a few times (finally going to Thailand yay! 🥳) and will also be visiting family so you’ll have the whole place to yourself on a frequent basis.

My own interests include walking, swimming, trading, travelling, reading, metaphysics, poker, and watching tennis. I am independent and respect personal space, making this setup ideal for a professional or student who appreciates a calm, independent environment to come home to.

THE PROPERTY & SHARED FACILITIES

- Shared Kitchen & Bathroom: You will have shared access to a nice kitchen that was completely refitted less than a year ago, featuring a large shared fridge. The bathroom has bath with shower over. I also have a huge collection of spices plus various gadgets such as a juicer, a spice grinder and a ninja food processor all of which you are more than welcome to use.

- Security (Gated): The property is highly secure. It features a fully gated perimeter requiring key fob access to the complex, a secondary key fob entry for the building itself, and secure underground parking.
