Summary - 42 MAIDSTONE ROAD ROCHESTER ME1 1RJ
6 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Large period semi with huge renovation potential near schools and fast rail links.
Six generous bedrooms across multiple floors
A substantial six-bedroom Georgian semi-detached house on Maidstone Road, offered chain-free and with excellent scope for improvement. The home retains strong period features — high ceilings, original fireplaces and large bay windows — and sits on a large plot with private front and rear gardens. Its scale and flexible room layout suit a growing family, multi-generational living, or conversion into a high-yield rental/house-share subject to planning.
The property requires comprehensive modernisation: cosmetically and likely in services, and there is visible mould in the living room that will need investigation and remediation. Two bathrooms serve six bedrooms, so additional sanitary provision may be desirable. Despite the work needed, the structural character and generous room proportions give clear potential to create contemporary living while preserving period detail.
Location is a key strength: close to several well-rated primary and secondary schools, good local amenities and bus links, and convenient for high-speed rail services to London. The house is freehold with no flood risk and benefits from fast broadband — attractive to families and commuters. Note that the immediate area reports very high crime levels, which should be weighed against the property’s other advantages.
This is a hands-on opportunity for buyers seeking a characterful family home or a renovation investment in Rochester. Viewings are recommended for those prepared to undertake works and who value generous internal space, classic period features and a substantial garden plot.
