This Grade II listed townhouse blends original Victorian character with largely modern decor across four floors, offering generous living space totalling about 1,443 sq ft. High ceilings, sash windows and original detailing give the house strong period appeal, while an open-plan kitchen‑diner and bright reception room deliver everyday comfort and entertaining space. The property is freehold and set a short walk from Rochester High Street, schools and rail connections to London — ideal for families or professionals seeking town-centre living.
The layout provides four double bedrooms, a family bathroom plus separate cloakroom WC, a utility area and useful cellar for storage. A private rear courtyard garden offers low-maintenance outdoor space, though the plot is small and outdoor amenities are compact. Broadband is average and mobile signal is excellent — suitable for remote working but not exceptional for heavy-streaming households.
Buyers should note material constraints: the Grade II listing will restrict alterations and may complicate maintenance or modernization. Crime levels in the immediate area are reported as very high; prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves on local security and insurance implications. Overall this is a characterful, centrally located townhouse that suits buyers who value historic fabric and convenience, and who are prepared for listed‑building responsibilities.
