Summary - Woodside, Rochester NE19 1RH
1 bed 1 bath Terraced
Charming one-bedroom rural bolt-hole with garden and outbuilding across the road.
Freehold stone terraced cottage with period features
A compact stone terraced cottage set in peaceful Rochester, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking character and countryside life. The property retains period features — a broad chimney breast with original open fire and a log burner in the extended kitchen — and offers surprisingly generous reception and kitchen space for its size.
Externally you get a south-facing gravelled front area with rural views, a small paddock-style garden and a stone outbuilding across the road. The layout is straightforward: porch and vestibule, spacious lounge, rear kitchen/diner extension, one double bedroom and a modern shower room. Broadband and mobile signal are good; parking is on-street.
Important practical points: the house is sold at auction (bids invited now) and purchase will incur an administration fee of £2,400 (£2,000 + VAT). Services include mains electricity and water, but drainage is to a septic tank and main heating relies on electric room heaters plus solid fuel appliances. The property has an EPC rating of G and a medium flood risk — further checks are recommended before purchase.
This home suits someone who values rural character and wants a manageable project rather than a turnkey move. It would work well as a low-maintenance countryside base, a holiday-let opportunity, or a first home to personalise. Probate of mining history is advised given the region’s heritage; ask your conveyancer to confirm any impact.
