This distinguished Grade II listed Georgian townhouse dates to the early 1800s and offers a striking combination of period character and flexible living. The main house provides four double bedrooms, large reception rooms framed by high ceilings and bay windows, and a central staircase that emphasises the home’s original proportions. A self-contained two-bedroom basement annexe with its own address and amenities offers rental potential or multi-generational living.
Located in the heart of historic Rochester, the property is minutes from the High Street and train station, putting shops, cafés and strong school options close at hand. The house is chain-free and freehold, making it straightforward to purchase, but its listed status and conservation area location mean alterations will be restricted and may need specialist consent.
Practical points: the home sits on a small plot with a modest outdoor courtyard, has double glazing (install date unknown), mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and two EPCs recorded (both D). The solid brick walls are original and likely uninsulated; energy performance and retrofit work may be limited by the listing.
Investment and family buyers should note the clear upside from the annexe income or letting, but also the potential extra cost and complexity: Grade II listing, possible need for specialist lending, and the wider area’s higher crime and deprivation indicators. For those seeking a landmark, character-rich home in central Rochester, this property presents rare space and adaptability in a historic setting.
