Two double bedrooms and large open-plan lounge/diner
Fitted kitchen and modern bathroom; cosmetic upgrades possible
Residents/allocated off-street parking to the rear
Electric storage heating only — higher running costs likely
Leasehold tenure; Reservation Option Agreement available
No private garden; town‑centre location with street-level noise
Local area records very high crime level — consider security measures
This vacant first-floor flat offers a spacious 776 sq.ft two-bedroom layout in central Rochester, directly overlooking the High Street. The large open-plan living/dining room and separate fitted kitchen give practical daily living space and clear rental appeal for investors or first-time buyers seeking town‑centre convenience. Residents’ allocated parking is provided to the rear.
The property is offered leasehold and benefits from double glazing and electric storage heating; the mains heating is purely electric which can mean higher running costs compared with gas. The interior is in basic, saleable condition with a modern bathroom and an intact kitchen that shows some dated finishes—there is straightforward scope for cosmetic upgrading to increase value or rental income.
Location is a strong selling point: immediate access to shops, cafés, restaurants, Rochester Cathedral and Castle, plus a nearby mainline station with fast services to London. However, the town‑centre setting brings busy street life and a recorded very high local crime level, which buyers should weigh against convenience.
Practical notes: the building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s, there is no private garden or external amenity, and heating is by electric storage heaters. A Reservation Option Agreement is available for purchase, and the flat is vacant, enabling immediate occupation or re-letting.
