Comfortable two-bedroom apartment in central Rochester, arranged over a practical 642 sq ft layout. The flat benefits from a modern open-plan kitchen/living area, two bedrooms and two bathrooms — a sensible, low-maintenance home for first-time buyers or professionals. A small private balcony provides outdoor space and direct views across historic town landmarks.
Practical ownership details are favourable: a long lease (about 242 years remaining), mains gas central heating and reliable broadband and mobile signals. Transport links and local amenities are strong, with Rochester station, shops, cafés and riverside walks all within easy reach — useful for commuters and for short-term lettings.
Important negatives are stated plainly. The property is leasehold with an annual service charge of approximately £1,835 and a small ground rent of £67. The wider area records very high crime levels and is classified as deprived, which will affect resale and rental perception. There is no private garden and on-street parking appears limited, so the flat suits buyers prioritising central, low-maintenance living over outdoor space.
Overall this is a well-presented urban flat offering clear commuter convenience and strong local character, but buyers should weigh service charges, local area crime statistics and lack of garden against the convenience and long lease.
