No Onward Chain – Unique Detached Three-Bedroom Cottage with Castle & Cathedral Views in Central Rochester

Tucked behind the Moat Wall opposite Rochester Castle, and facing the iconic Rochester Cathedral, this beautifully presented three double bedroom detached cottage (built in 2006) offers rare privacy, period-style charm, and modern comfort in one of Rochester’s most historic settings.

Spanning three levels, the ground floor features a spacious open-plan living/kitchen/dining room (19'0" x 17'2") filled with natural light, integrated appliances, sleek cabinetry, and a central island. A modern shower room (15'9" x 9'9") complements the space with a WC, basin, and neutral tiling.

On the lower ground floor are two generous double bedrooms. Bedroom Two (12'4" x 13'4") and Bedroom Three (12'5" x 11'7") both enjoy neutral décor, ample natural light, and peaceful ambiance. A spacious bathroom (13'4" x 5'11") with a bath and contemporary fittings completes this level.

On the first floor, the elegant Bedroom One (16'1" x 19'6") features sloped ceilings, built-in storage, and a tranquil feel—ideal as a principal suite.

Outside, the home offers exceptional private outdoor space. A split-level paved courtyard, rear terrace, and additional patio area are framed by mature greenery, stone walls, and raised beds. A gated rear entrance leads to a private parking space.

Located just minutes from Rochester High Street, the property is surrounded by independent shops, cafés, and a thriving cultural scene. Top local schools—including Kings School, Rochester Grammar and The Math School—are within walking distance. Rochester Station is nearby, offering high-speed services to London, and excellent road links via the A2, M2, M20, and M25.
