Summary - 79A HIGH STREET ROCHESTER ME1 1LX
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Central Rochester two-bedroom flat with character, near station and cathedral.
Two double bedrooms in a characterful upper-floor flat
Set on Rochester High Street, this two-bedroom upper-floor flat blends genuine period character with practical, move-in-ready accommodation. The living spaces feel bright thanks to sash-style fenestration and neutral décor, while the kitchen is fitted with modern units and integrated appliances — a sensible space for everyday cooking. The property suits first-time buyers wanting a central location or investors seeking a well-located rental near transport links.
Location is the standout feature: you are steps from independent shops, cafés, Rochester Cathedral and Castle, with Rochester Station a short walk away and fast rail services to London. The compact private yard and limited external space reflect the central town-centre setting rather than suburban gardens, but they provide useful outdoor storage or parking access.
Practical points are straightforward and honest. The building is timber-framed and likely uninsulated, secondary glazing is installed, and heating is by electric storage heaters — all factors to consider for running costs and future upgrades. Crime statistics for the immediate area are notably high, which may influence some buyers or landlords when setting security measures.
Leasehold tenure is long (about 152 years remaining), making the legal position clear for mortgage or investment purposes. Overall, this flat offers a rare chance to live in Rochester’s historic core with good rail links and solid short-to-medium-term rental potential, while buyers should budget for potential insulation, heating improvements and simple security enhancements.
