Generally Reading itself is a crime ridden shit hole...
But, despite the motorway built through the middle, there are some nice bits and some nice villages nearby. I'd recommend Caversham area to live in, but you need to see which side of the river you'd work on and how long it'd take to get there if you have to drive.

There are lots of nice villages just outside Reading which are really great, but again you want to check out traffic/train/bus/cycle journey to work.

Ask work if you can do a week working from the Reading office so you can have a good look round and see if you like the place?

You can do some research on what your summer will be like from the Met Office here www.metoffice.gov.uk/climate/uk/regional/

Good Luck...
