Our virtual doors are always wide open.
Whilst we’ll continue to do everything we can to keep us all safe, we’re still very much here to help with your home projects. Your local store team is ready and waiting with advice, ideas and any information you might need – be it via email or live chat, over the phone or face-to-face in a video call. We’re here whenever suits you best – during the day or into the evening. And don’t forget, you can also order accessories via our Call and Collect service.
A warm welcome
Neptune Reading sees the restoration of the 17th-century gate lodge – Monksmead House. Oak-framed, spread across two levels and surrounded by expansive gardens, it sits on the main toll road between London and Bath, dubbed the Floral Mile.
In all of our stores we try to include as many of our designs as possible, but to give you a better idea of what you can find within the confines of Neptune Reading, just keep scrolling…
Virtual store tour
Who you'll meet
Here at Neptune Reading, we’re a team of 12. Ian’s our store leader, who was not only Neptune’s store leader of the year in 2018, but is known for his interior design eye (he’s currently renovating his own home). Then there’s Will, our assistant store leader, our three kitchen designers Christina, Gill (who’ve both won Neptune kitchen designer of the year awards) and Lauren, and design administrator, Pam, plus all of our home specialists. Whoever you chat to will be able to help with everything from measurements to choosing a colour palette.
On display
All four of our kitchen collections are waiting to be explored so you can get a real feel for every aspect from cabinet design to worktops. Henley is perhaps our largest display, showcasing its newly engineered design, and if you head upstairs, you’ll find a contemporary Limehouse kitchen in a city apartment setting.
Inside Neptune Reading you’ll find four open-plan dining areas and throughout the store you can spot nine of our most-loved dining tables with perfectly paired dining chairs. Every table is dressed with a small selection of our tabletop pieces like pure linen tablecloths and hand-made crockery.
We’ve filled Neptune Reading with an edit of our furniture collections, spanning the entire design spectrum from classic to contemporary. You can also explore all of our home accessories that translate to any room, helping it to feel warm, welcoming and perfectly in balance.
In our bedrooms, you’ll discover serene and restful decorating ideas, capacious wardrobes and chests of drawers, and blissfully soft, Portuguese-made cotton and linen bedding. Then there’s our solid timber beds, of course, upholstered headboards and handmade, natural mattress Barrington. And like in our living rooms, trying them out for yourself is most definitely encouraged.
Next door to our bedrooms, you’ll also often find dressing areas and washrooms. This is where you can discover our natural timber and Carrara marble washstands, our made-in-the-UK bath & body collections, and our elegant storage solutions to help you create a calm and welcoming bathroom.
We’re fortunate enough to have a spacious garden that wraps around the building where we can display a selection of our outdoor designs. We tend to only have them outside during the spring and summer months though so they don’t have to face the cold.
Your very own designer
If you’re thinking of investing in a new kitchen, our designers will work with you on a one-to-one basis. First, you’ll come in to have a free design consultation with either Christina, Gill or Lauren here at Neptune Reading. Then, they’ll come to your home to develop your design, and will stay by your side until the kitchen you’ve always wanted is all yours.
Need to knows
We have our own dedicated (and spacious) customer car park. And it goes without saying that it’s free to park.
Neptune Reading is spread across two floors. There are small stair sections on the lower floor, as well as stairs to the second floor though so access is limited. If there’s anything you would like to check with us before you visit, we’re just one call away.
You’re more than welcome to park your pram in our wine cellar section so that you browse to your heart's content.
Well-behaved dogs are more than welcome too. But if you’re the proud owner of four Great Danes, we’d appreciate it if you perhaps left them at home.
Get in touch
If you’d rather not call, you can send us a message using this little form. You can also use this form to leave us any feedback, good or bad. We’d love to know what you think.
