Welcome to your sanctuary in the heart of Reading! Nestled on the third floor of The Halcyon Building in Chatham Place, this fabulous one-bedroom apartment is a delightful blend of modern living and urban convenience. With a private balcony offering a perfect perch for your morning coffee (or evening gin and tonic), you’ll enjoy stunning ease of access to the bustling town centre.
This gem is in pristine condition, waiting for you to add your personal touch. First-time buyers, rejoice! This charming pad not only makes for a stylish home but also presents a golden opportunity for savvy tenants looking to tap into Reading's vibrant scene—because who wouldn’t want a slice of a hot spot that’s projected to sizzle in 2025 and beyond?
Imagine hosting friends for dinner, only to impress them with the fabulous kitchen while they gaze out at the twinkling stars. And let’s not forget the practical side— less than half a mile from Crossrail means that commuting will be so easy, you might even have time to pick up a few buns to share at work. “Why don’t real estate agents trust stairs? Because they’re always up to something!” Did we mention there's a lift so you're moments from your front door on the third floor meaning this home offers lateral living for those who need or prefer it.
Don’t miss out on this opportunity to call The Halcyon your home. After all, how often do you get to live like a king or queen— without the royal price tag?

Welcome to Reading, where the riverside charm meets urban excitement! If you've got an eye for the future, you’re in for a treat. The local area boasts a vibrant mix of amenities that will make you feel like you've struck gold!
Just steps from your door, you’ll find an array of cafes and restaurants serving everything from artisanal coffee to gourmet delights. Fancy a cheeky brunch? You’re just a hop, skip, and a jump away from the best eggs Benedict this side of the Thames! And if you’re feeling adventurous, the town centre offers shopping that ranges from high street favorites to quirky independent boutiques. Pro tip: Don’t try to carry all your shopping bags at once—trust us, the struggle is real!
For the nature lovers, the nearby parks are perfect for a leisurely stroll or a picnic that could rival a royal banquet (sans the corgis, unless you’re into that). And let’s not forget the Thames Path—ideal for those who like their exercise with a side of picturesque views.
With Crossrail less than half a mile away, commuting is a breeze, opening up a world of opportunities. You could be in London faster than you can say, “Is it Friday yet?” Plus, with Reading being dubbed a hot spot for 2025, you’ll be investing in a community that’s only going to get better.
Reading is the place where your dreams can take flight—just remember to pack your sense of humour! Because let’s face it, the only thing better than a great apartment is a great story to tell about it.
A short walk from Reading Station, Chatham Place is the landmark re-development of the West end of Reading's Town Centre. The development has a yoga studio, is adjacent to q-Park where residents and guests can park (charges apply) and is short walk from Reading's main shopping and entertainment precincts. Reading is seen as the UK's largest town and is only 25 minutes from London by train, with trains running every five minutes or so, Reading is home to many of the city’s commuters. Reading also has easy links by road or rail to Swindon, Oxford, Basingstoke, Heathrow and beyond. Reading is nestled in the heart of Royal Berkshire offering beautiful riverside walks on the Thames and tow path ambles on the Kennet and Avon canals and with the nearby Berkshire Downs and Chilterns, beautiful countryside is never far away. Reading offers a rich mix of shops and markets. In the heart of the town, The Oracle combines chic boutiques with Riverside bars and dining and within a minute’s walk there are many high-street favourites including John Lewis and Marks & Spencer. There are restaurants, cafes and brasseries to suit every taste on your doorstep in Reading.

Having a home in a location which matched the lifestyle I envisioned was a priority for me:
- Close enough to the train station so I could roll out of bed late, and still have time to grab a coffee and make my train on time.
- Easy and quick access to the airport for early mornings and late-night work trips and personal get-aways.
- Enjoy the liveliness of being in the town centre with the variety of activities on my doorstep and yet still have access to the stillness of nature nearby
- Have instant access to the variety of restaurants to leisurely eat and explore while still having the convenience to do last minute takeaways for late work nights, last minute cravings and lazy nights in.
It was important that my home became my sanctuary where it was:
- Big enough to host the people closest to me so we could create memories together yet small enough to make cleaning up quick and hassle-free.
- Private enough to enjoy peace and tranquillity on the days I needed rest, yet close enough to people for me to still feel connected to a community.
- Sunny enough to feel the winter sun on my face while relaxing in the mornings yet cozy enough to enjoy stormy nights in with a warm drink and a good movie, bringing the chilled vibes.
This flat offers endless possibilities to shape it into exactly what you need it to be and has allowed me to enjoy the best of both worlds: Experiencing a lively, fast paced lifestyle whilst also having a more peaceful and slower one when needed. I truly hope the next owner(s) create unforgettable memories and enjoy building this into their sanctuary as much as I have!
