This mid-terrace Victorian house offers a compact, chain-free two-bedroom home a short walk from Rochester’s historic centre and Strood mainline station. It’s ready for immediate occupation yet presents clear scope for improvement — ideal for a first-time buyer wanting to personalise a property, or an investor seeking a let-ready central location.
Period features and practical extras include two double bedrooms, a conservatory, cellar/store room and an enclosed rear garden. The property is freehold, benefits from mains gas central heating, double glazing (installation date unknown) and low council tax. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting modern working-from-home needs.
Buyers should note material negatives: the area is classified as very deprived with very high local crime rates, and the property sits in a high flood-risk zone. The solid brick walls appear to have no built-in insulation and the kitchen is dated and likely requires updating. The plot is small, and the house will suit buyers comfortable with modest room sizes and some refurbishment work.
For a purchaser prepared to invest in targeted improvements — insulation, kitchen and cosmetic updating — this terrace could deliver a cosy long-term home or a straightforward rental asset given its proximity to transport, shops and well-rated local schools. All measurements and services should be independently verified.
