Double-chambered cellar ideal as office, gym or storage

Wider area shows deprivation and average crime — consider rental demand
Set on a Victorian terrace within easy walking distance of Rochester High Street and the high-speed station, this two-bedroom freehold home balances period charm with practical living space. High ceilings, a bay-fronted living room, original cornices and hardwood floors give immediate character, while an upstairs bathroom and ground-floor cloakroom suit modern routines.
A double-chambered cellar provides flexible space for a home office, gym or hobby room, increasing usable square footage beyond the 819 sqft above ground. The compact rear garden and small front yard are low-maintenance, and fast broadband and reliable mains gas heating support everyday needs.
The property is presented well in many areas but has clear scope for sensitive updating and insulation improvements (solid brick walls). The neighbourhood offers strong local amenities and good schools nearby, though the wider area is classified as more deprived with average crime levels — factors to consider for buyers and investors.
This freehold house is well suited to first-time buyers seeking a character home close to transport links, or investors looking for a central rental opportunity with conversion potential and a ready-made home office space in the cellar.
