Summary - 22, Gordon Palmer Court, READING RG30 1EY
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Compact, low‑maintenance home with shared‑ownership savings and communal gardens.
First-floor (top) retirement apartment, chain-free
A compact first-floor retirement apartment designed for over-55 owner-occupiers, set within well-kept communal grounds and offered chain-free. The living space is bright with dual-aspect 15' lounge and a fitted 10' kitchen; a double bedroom and walk-in shower provide straightforward, low-maintenance accommodation. Communal facilities include a residents’ lounge, laundry, designated site manager and on-site parking, with level access to local shops and regular buses.
Practical details matter: this is a shared ownership property sold at 70% of market value (you own 100% of the flat). A new 99-year lease will be assigned on completion (admin fee applies). Annual service charge is approximately £2,368.20; heating is by electric storage heaters, and the home has double glazing.
This apartment suits a downsizer seeking affordability and community amenities over extensive living space. The gardens and communal facilities add social value, while the compact layout keeps upkeep low. Note the material considerations: electric-only heating, a sizable service charge for communal upkeep, and small overall internal size (approx. 429 sq ft). These factors affect running costs and suitability for those wanting more space or lower energy costs.
