This development is very well located. Houses are quite spacious and have a good ventilation all around.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
A very well located area in Reading. There are a lot of local schools here. Gym facilities are literally walking distance. Very well-connected with the buses. Motorway in town center is literally 10 to 15 minutes away.One thing we noticed is that catchment areas of primary schools are very small so sometime you might find it difficult to get into your own preferred school.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
We found them little bit slow in terms of answering the questions. However they were very helpful indeed
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
The area is well located with good transport links taking you in to Reading (bus approximately 20mins). Woodley itself has a nice range of restaurants and shops including Waitrose, Iceland and Boots. Easy access to the M4 for those working in surrounding areas or wanting to access London.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Size of the garden. This is very small
What is the best feature of your home:
All Ensuites are a very good size and the spec of the features are very good throughout.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:
Great development. There is a coop 1 min walk away, bus stop 2 mins away which gets you to Reading station in under 15mins. Lots of open green spaces and a small playground on the development itself. Woodley town center is around a 20min walk or 5min drive away with plenty of shops and amenities.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
Management company does not take of their responsibilities as you would expect and budget overspends are common which means we always had to pay more each year to compensate
Please share one thing (or more) which you would change about your development:
More storage, a garage and better to have houses with 2 floor design than 3. Unfortunately we didn’t have a choice.

Ideal location with local access to busses/trains. Local CO-OP store on site.

The low mains water pressure frequently. There is a playground area exclusively for the development but people from outside the areas have invaded it.
