This bay-fronted mid-terrace on Holcombe Road is a compact, practical family home in a sought-after Rochester location. The layout delivers two reception rooms, a kitchen, three upstairs bedrooms and a rear garden — a straightforward plan that will suit first-time buyers or investors looking for rental potential. Being chain free and freehold makes for a quicker transaction.
The house requires updating throughout: some interiors date from the 1970s/80s and the property is described as needing renovation. Construction is solid brick with no known wall insulation, and double glazing was installed before 2002; these are factors to budget for if improving energy performance. The internal rooms are small-to-average in size, so expect modest living spaces rather than large, modern open-plan rooms.
Location is a strong selling point. Rochester station and fast links to London, plus easy access to the M2/M20, make commuting straightforward. Several well-rated primary and secondary schools are nearby, including two grammar schools, which will appeal to families. The rear garden is small but private; there’s no obvious off-street parking and the plot is compact.
Be mindful of practical negatives: the property sits in an area with above-average recorded crime, and renovation work will be required to modernise heating, insulation and internal finishes. For buyers prepared to invest in upgrades, this terraced home offers reasonable floor area for the price and clear potential to add value.
