Spacious three‑storey detached home with river views, garden firepit and garage..
Bauhaus-influenced detached house with strong riverside sunset views
A striking Bauhaus-influenced detached house with wide westerly views over the River Medway. Spread across three floors and around 2,162 sq ft, the home offers generous, flexible living space for family life, multi-generational arrangements or a live/work setup. The private balcony and terraced garden with pergola, BBQ area and firepit make the river sunsets a regular feature of daily life.
Built before 1900, this large property has been loved for nearly 30 years and retains strong character combined with modernist lines. Heating is by mains-gas boiler and radiators; the solid brick walls are assumed to be uninsulated, so there is scope to improve energy efficiency. The layout and room count (approx. 11 rooms) present good potential for refurbishment to suit contemporary tastes.
Practical benefits include a garage and off-street parking plus fast rail links — Rochester station is walkable, with journeys to London Victoria in around 43 minutes and St Pancras in about 36. Local amenities, cafes and historic streets are on the doorstep, and a range of independent and state schools sit nearby.
Important considerations: the building is older construction with assumed solid brick and no insulation; some updating and energy-efficiency work is likely. The area records a very high crime rating, which buyers should factor into security and insurance costs. Flood risk is rated as no risk. Overall this is a spacious, characterful property with strong views and refurbishment upside for buyers who value style, space and a riverside setting.
