A bright, accessible ground-floor flat in central Rochester, offered chain free and ready for immediate occupation or rental. The one-bedroom layout (approx. 496 sq ft) includes a generous lounge/diner with balcony, a compact contemporary kitchen and a shower room — practical live-in space for a first home or buy-to-let.
The building dates from the mid-20th century and sits close to the historic high street and quick rail links, giving genuine location appeal. Communal gardens add outside space, and the long lease (circa 169 years) removes a common leasehold worry for buyers.
Costs and practicalities are straightforward but material: the flat is leasehold with an average service charge of around £1,800pa and a ground rent of £250pa. The building’s cavity walls are assumed uninsulated and double glazing install dates are unknown, so energy-efficiency improvements may be worthwhile. Local crime statistics are recorded as very high, which buyers should factor into location decisions.
This home suits first-time purchasers seeking a manageable, low-maintenance starter home in a sought-after town centre, or investors after an accessible, centrally located rental. Viewings will show both the current presentation and the styling potential indicated in the virtual-staged images.
