Set on Rochester’s Esplanade, this two-bedroom penthouse offers genuine riverfront living with long lease security and no ground rent. The open-plan living space, balcony with River Medway views and ensuite master bedroom suit a comfortable city-centre lifestyle. Off-street parking plus a garage provide rare convenience for central locations.
Practical details are straightforward: 973 years remaining on the lease, share of freehold ownership, and a service charge of about £1,920 per year (£160 pcm). Built in 1999 with double glazing and gas central heating, the flat is ready to occupy with average-sized rooms across about 778 sq ft.
Buyers should note material negatives honestly: the property lies in a high flood-risk zone, the local area records above-average crime and higher deprivation than surrounding districts. There is no onward chain, but prospective purchasers should factor flood insurance costs and any flood-mitigation measures into running costs.
This home will suit buyers seeking a riverside base close to Rochester High Street and transport links—families, professionals or investors looking for a tenancy-ready flat with easy access to schools and local amenities. It also offers straightforward renovation potential for aesthetic updating rather than major structural works.
