A bright, modern two-bedroom apartment on Rochester Riverside, aimed at first-time buyers seeking an easy commute to London. The open-plan living space benefits from Amtico flooring, integrated kitchen appliances and a sunny balcony that extends the living area in fine weather. The development includes a riverside communal area and is minutes from the high-speed station and Rochester High Street.
Practical positives include an NHBC guarantee, 244 years remaining on the lease, off-street resident permit parking and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal — useful for remote working or streaming. The accommodation is compact (approximately 545 sq ft) but arranged efficiently: a generous combined lounge/kitchen/diner, two bedrooms and a single bathroom.
Notable costs and local factors are explicit: this is a leasehold property with an average service charge of £2,500pa and a ground rent of £250pa. The wider area scores as deprived and recorded local crime is very high — important for buyers to consider when assessing safety and insurance. The property is small overall and may suit a first-time buyer, couple or investor rather than a family seeking larger space.
Viewings are by appointment; buyers should verify all lease, service charge and appliance details with their solicitor. The apartment offers easy commuter living and low-maintenance modern finishes, but weigh the running costs and local social factors against the strong transport links and riverside setting.
