Norcot

RG30 1 / RG30 2 / RG30 4 / RG30 6

Family-friendly

Norcot is in the west of Reading, a residential area of mostly 1930s semis and some council-built housing. It sits between the Oxford Road and the railway line. Practical and affordable, close enough to Tilehurst station for commuting. There's not much to draw you here specifically, but it's solid, ordinary suburbia.
