Summary - 136B BORSTAL ROAD ROCHESTER ME1 3BB
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Two-bedroom Victorian apartment with private garden, garage and sweeping river views.
Panoramic 180° river views from lounge and kitchen
Set within a converted Victorian detached house, this two-bedroom apartment delivers extensive 180° river views, private garden, and a garage — rare features for a flat. The bright lounge and fitted kitchen both look out across the river through large windows, and period touches such as high ceilings, cornicing and stained glass add genuine character. Gas central heating, double glazing and integrated kitchen appliances provide everyday comfort.
Practical extras include allocated parking, a balcony, and a quarter share of the freehold with a long lease (111 years). Annual charges are £1,080 for service/insurance (stated as £90pcm) and ground rent is also £1,080 a year — a notable ongoing cost to factor in. Council Tax Band B is relatively low, and there is no recorded flood risk.
The building predates 1900 and has solid brick walls with no known insulation; buyers wanting high energy efficiency may consider further insulation or upgrades. The apartment is chain free and well placed for local shops, bus routes and highly regarded nearby schools, with Rochester town centre 1.5 miles away and good road and rail links for commuters.
This property will suit buyers who value riverside views and period character with useful outside space, and investors or families looking for a well-located home. Be aware of the annual charges and the long-term improvement costs associated with older solid-wall construction.
