Welcome to Ibex House, a one bedroom apartment right in the middle of Reading, with free secure parking on site. Rare in this part of town.



You know the usual trade offs with a town centre flat.



❌ Nowhere to park, or a car park that costs a fortune

❌ A kitchen fine for toast and nothing else

❌ WiFi that stutters through a work call

❌ Hosts who go quiet the moment you check in

❌ Photos that flatter a tired flat



None of that here.



This is a well kept apartment, cleaned by professionals before every stay. Fresh linen, fresh towels, and the basics stocked so you can settle straight in.



🅿️ Secure parking on site



Free parking in a secure car park at the building. In central Reading that is not a footnote, it is the reason people book.



No meters, no permits, no circling the block.



🛏 Rest and reset



A double bedroom with room darkening blinds, plus a sofa bed in the living room, so the flat sleeps up to 3.



Central heating you control, and fans for warmer months.



🍳 A proper kitchen



Oven, hob, cooker, microwave, fridge, freezer, toaster, blender, kettle, and a coffee maker.



Cook a real meal and skip another restaurant bill. There is a dining table to sit at, and wine glasses for the evening.



📶 Set up for work



Fast WiFi and a dedicated workspace.



Take the call from the desk, not the edge of the bed. Good for remote work, timesheets, or catching up after the office.



🧺 Ready for a longer stay



Washing machine and tumble dryer, plus an iron, drying rack, and clothes storage. Pack for weeks, not days.



🎮 Wind down



Arcade games, board games, and a TV for the evenings.
