Summary - FLAT 2, CHANDLERS WHARF, ESPLANADE, ROCHESTER ME1 1EB
2 bed 2 bath Flat
Bright flat with garage and parking, ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
River Medway views from private balcony
This bright two-bedroom first-floor flat on Rochester Esplanade offers direct River Medway views and a private balcony — a rare combination at this price point. The open-plan reception with large windows brings in strong natural light; both bedrooms are good-sized doubles and the principal bedroom includes an en-suite. A single garage and private parking add real practicality for commuters and owners with a car.
The building is modern and the flat is structurally conventional, but the interior is dated and needs renovation to maximise value. Important costs include an average annual service charge of around £4,000 and a 98-year lease remaining. The property is leasehold and sold with mains gas central heating and double glazing (installed before 2002).
Buyers should note a high local flood risk and above-average crime levels in the area; these are material factors for insurance and long-term running costs. Council tax is moderate. For a buyer willing to refurbish, the apartment offers strong commuter appeal — short walk to Rochester High Street and fast rail links to London — or could be considered as a buy-to-let with attractive riverside positioning.
