Set on Rochester’s historic High Street, this first-floor one-bedroom flat combines period character with contemporary fittings. Traditional sash windows and high ceilings bring light into the living space, while the modern kitchen has integrated appliances and a stylish fully tiled shower room.
The apartment is well suited to first-time buyers or investors seeking central convenience. Rochester Station is a short walk away with high-speed links to London, and local amenities, cafés and landmarks are on the doorstep. The 160-year lease remaining, modest ground rent and below-average service charge keep ongoing costs predictable.
There are a few practical points to note: the building is of solid brick construction dating from before 1900 and is assumed to have no cavity insulation, so heat retention could be improved. The property sits directly on a busy High Street and local recorded crime levels are very high, which may affect noise and perceived security. Flooding risk is low and main heating is a gas boiler with radiators.
This apartment offers an attractive mix of character and convenience for someone wanting a compact city-base or a rental purchase with strong commuter appeal. Buyers who value location and are prepared to invest in energy upgrades will find genuine potential here.
