Chain-free two-bedroom home with garage, balcony and excellent transport links.
Two double bedrooms including ensuite master
Set on Rochester’s Esplanade, this two-bedroom penthouse offers bright open-plan living and a balcony with direct River Medway outlook. The layout includes two double bedrooms, a master ensuite and a separate family bathroom — practical for couples or sharers wanting private and guest bathrooms. The property is chain-free and comes with a garage plus parking, making arrival and storage straightforward.
Ownership is tidy: each owner holds a share of the freehold, there is no ground rent and a very long lease (973 years) remains. Service charges run at about £1,920 per year (£160 pcm) to cover communal maintenance; council tax is band D. Built in 1999 with double glazing and gas central heating, the flat is ready to move into for most buyers.
Be aware of some material local factors. The site is in a high flood-risk zone and the immediate area records above-average crime and relative deprivation compared with nearby districts. The flat’s size is average for a two-bedroom apartment (approximately 778 sq ft), so external space is limited to the balcony; there’s no private garden.
For a first-time buyer seeking a compact, characterful home with excellent transport links, riverside views and low immediate costs beyond the service charge, this apartment represents a convenient urban choice. Buyers concerned about flood resilience or local crime should get specialist advice and targeted surveys before committing.
