Summary - 79B HIGH STREET ROCHESTER ME1 1LX
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact, characterful flat on Rochester High Street — great transport links and central location.
403 sq ft one-bedroom first-floor flat, open-plan living
Set on Rochester High Street, this compact first-floor one-bedroom flat blends period character with contemporary finishes. The apartment is modest at 403 sq ft but benefits from high ceilings, large windows and a bright, open-plan living area with a modern fitted kitchen and sleek tiled shower room. Fast broadband and a short walk to Rochester Station make it practical for commuters.
The building dates from the early 20th century and has solid brick walls with no assumed cavity insulation, so heating bills could be higher than modern stock despite mains gas central heating. The property is leasehold; the current service charge is £600 (below average) and council tax is described as cheap. There is no flood risk recorded.
Location is a clear strength: doorstep access to independent shops, cafés, restaurants, Rochester Cathedral and Castle, plus fast rail services to London St Pancras in under 40 minutes. That makes the flat suitable for a first-time buyer or an investor seeking a central, tenant-ready studio alternative.
Buyers should weigh the compact floor area and the very high local crime level when deciding. The apartment is presented well and ready to move into, but the solid-wall construction and age of the building suggest opportunities for energy-efficiency improvements and potential maintenance costs over time.
