This two-bedroom Victorian terrace on Ross Street offers a straightforward, well-located home for first-time buyers or professional couples. The property blends period character such as a front bay window with neutral contemporary finishes and bright living spaces, laid out over two main floors plus a loft room and cellar.
The ground floor through reception and practical kitchen give flexible living and entertaining space, while two upstairs bedrooms and a large bathroom provide comfortable family accommodation. A rear garden and loft room add useful outside space and extra flexibility, with the loft offering potential to convert to a bedroom subject to planning permission.
Practical strengths include freehold tenure, fast broadband and a cheap council tax band. Notable considerations: the area records higher crime and very high deprivation metrics, the plot is modest and some rooms (cellar, kitchen) are basic and may need updating. Buyers should budget for cosmetic improvements and to check planning for any loft conversion or cellar works.
Overall, this property is a solid entry point into Rochester’s historic town centre. It suits buyers seeking a characterful home in a well-connected location with scope to add value through careful refurbishment.
