An attractively presented two-bedroom, two-bathroom flat on Shelley Rise, set within a riverside development on The Esplanade. The property offers bright living space with good decoration throughout, an ensuite to the main bedroom and clear river views—suitable as a first home or a buy-to-let opportunity. Two allocated parking spaces and a separate storage cupboard below the flat add practical convenience.
The location is a key strength: roughly a 15–20 minute walk to Rochester High Speed Station and about 15 minutes to Rochester High Street, with the town’s attractions, schools and commuting links nearby. The building is modern (built 1996–2002), double glazed and connected to mains gas central heating, making it relatively low-maintenance for its age.
Practical points to note: the flat is leasehold with about 97 years remaining, an average-sized interior (approx. 653 sq ft), an annual service charge around £1,800 and a small ground rent of £50. Crime statistics are above average for the area and the local neighbourhood records higher-than-average deprivation—factors worth considering for occupiers or investors.
Chain-free and move-in ready, this property suits first-time buyers seeking riverside living with straightforward commuting, or investors looking for a well-presented unit in a regenerated part of Rochester. Viewings are available now.
