Summary - 6 GORDON PALMER COURT READING RG30 1EY
1 bed 1 bath Retirement Property
Low-maintenance one-bedroom in well-kept grounds with parking.
First-floor retirement flat for over-55s, chain free
This first-floor, one-bedroom retirement apartment at Gordon Palmer Court is offered chain free and exclusively to owner-occupiers aged 55+. The flat is modest in size (426 sq ft) and ideal for someone seeking a low-maintenance home close to local shops, bus routes and healthcare. It overlooks well-tended communal gardens and benefits from resident and visitor parking.
The living room opens to a modern fitted kitchen with integrated hob and microwave. The double bedroom has built-in wardrobes and the shower room includes a vanity unit and heated towel rail. Independent electric heating and double glazing have been updated, and the flat includes a personal stair lift (warranty until Nov 2026) for first-floor access.
This is a shared-ownership leasehold home sold at 70% of market value (you own 100% of the property). A new 99-year lease will be assigned on completion (admin fee applies). Service charges are £2,368.20 per year and the property is managed by Churchill — these are important ongoing costs for buyers to budget for.
Suitable for downsizers or retirees wanting a small, secure home with communal facilities (lounge, kitchen, laundry) and low external maintenance. The flat is compact and best suited to buyers comfortable with limited internal space and electric heating rather than a full central heating system.
