This top-floor duplex two-bedroom apartment occupies 654 sq ft in central Rochester, a short walk from the High Street and Rochester train station. Offered with a Share of Freehold and sold via Secure Sale online bidding, the property is chain-free with a starting bid of £160,000. The flat has been recently redecorated and benefits from double glazing and gas central heating via a boiler and radiators.
Layout spans two levels and suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let purchasers seeking central convenience and rental potential. The accommodation includes a larger main bedroom, a smaller second bedroom, kitchen/diner and a spacious living room. Council Tax Band A keeps running costs low, and flood risk is reported as low.
Important considerations: the wider area is classified as deprived with very high crime levels, which will affect desirability and insurance costs. The building is a Victorian mid-terrace with solid brick walls (no assumed cavity insulation) and an EPC rating of D (59). Broadband speeds are average; mobile signal is excellent. The property will be sold under specific auction terms and conditions—interested buyers should review those before bidding.
