Rob, I rented in Bracknell for about 18 months. I stayed in a place called Forest Park, which is like a huge sprawling Brookside-esque estate. Quite a nice area, but small properties with garages are in a bit of a short supply. Most 2-bed houses have "courtyard" parking. There were one or two 1 or 2 bedroom flats with garages, but they were VERY sought after. There's quite a bouyant rental market, but it all seemed to be via a few big agencies. I seem to remember looking at quite a few flats which were sort of a mews situation, with the flat over a garage, but they were all in areas that were a little bit dodgy for vandalism etc. The feedback I got when I was looking for somewhere to rent is that you have to be a bit careful which area you rent in...cheap price normally equates to **** area....maybe your new workplace will be able to advise as I can't remember too much in the way of specifics.
