This well-presented one-bedroom apartment sits on Rochester High Street in the period Faraday House building, an attractive option for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The flat benefits from high ceilings and large windows that create a bright, airy living space, plus a modern open-plan kitchen and a generous main bedroom. A reserved off-street parking space in a secure gated area is included — a rare convenience for town-centre homes.
Practical details support easy ownership: a long 125-year lease, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and affordable council tax. The location is highly convenient — a short walk to Rochester train station, a wide range of shops, cafés and amenities, and several well-regarded schools including an Outstanding secondary nearby.
Buyers should note material negatives plainly. The local recorded crime level is very high, which may affect personal security and rental demand. The building is original solid-brick construction with no assumed cavity insulation, so heating bills and future retrofit works should be considered. Broadband speeds are average. This is a leasehold property — check service charges and ground rent details before committing.
Overall, the apartment offers immediate move-in appeal with period character and modern fittings, plus a valuable allotted parking space. It suits a buyer seeking a compact, centrally located home or an investor targeting strong commuter links and local rental demand, provided they factor in local crime statistics and potential retrofit costs.
