Considering Bracknell and Wokingham – are they good places to live?
We’re in a bit of a situation with our current tenancy and are eager to move quickly. While we really love the Surrey Hills, we’re exploring other options for better affordability. We’re looking for a two-bedroom place under £1500 per month.
Can anyone share insights on safe and pleasant neighborhoods in Bracknell and Wokingham? We’d appreciate easy access to Reading and Central London by car or train, a range of shops, proximity to nature, and an overall positive atmosphere.
Thanks in advance!
