Set on Rochester’s historic High Street with the Castle and Cathedral moments away, this immaculately presented one-bedroom apartment offers a compact, chain-free entry into city-centre living. The open-plan kitchen/living area is bright with large windows and modern fittings; the property benefits from mains gas heating and fast broadband — convenient for work or leisure.
At about 317 sq ft, the apartment is small and best suited to a single buyer or couple seeking a city-base or rental opportunity. Travel is straightforward: the high-speed station is only minutes away, and local shops, cafés and amenities are on the doorstep. The building’s period character and high ceilings in parts add charm and curb appeal.
Important lease and cost facts are clear: the lease has been recently extended but only around 63 years remain. This is likely to restrict mortgage options and some lenders may refuse to lend. Service charges are notable and ongoing — verify these with your solicitor — and the area records very high local crime levels, which buyers should weigh against the central location.
Overall, this is a convenient, characterful city-centre flat offering immediate move-in condition and scope as an affordable first home or a let, provided you confirm finance options given the limited lease term.
