A versatile reception room sits alongside, easily adaptable as a formal dining space, home office, or even a sixth bedroom, providing flexibility to suit every household need.

The drawing room offers a retreat of quiet sophistication. Hand-crafted bookcases with an integrated media wall frame the fireplace, while dual-aspect French doors open to either the courtyard garden or a sheltered balcony, a serene spot for morning coffee with views over the formal gardens of Officers’ Terrace and the River Medway beyond.

Fitted wardrobes are thoughtfully integrated throughout, combining style with practical storage. A further staircase provides convenient access to a substantial loft space, offering an additional and convenient storage option.

The lower ground floor is a study in adaptability. Two bedrooms, one currently used as a gym, sit alongside a wet room and a heated Endless Fitness swimming pool. The pool’s modular design allows easy removal if desired, enabling the space to be transformed into a cinema room, dressing area, or other bespoke leisure space. The lower ground floor has the potential to create a fully self-contained annex, subject to acquiring planning permission. Internal access leads conveniently to the double garage, which incorporates a utility area.

The private courtyard garden is a peaceful retreat, thoughtfully landscaped with raised beds and a pond, framed by the imposing Dockyard wall. It offers a secluded outdoor sanctuary, complementing the elegant interiors of the home.

Beyond the gatehouse lie 80 acres of landscaped grounds, where residents enjoy riverside walks, open green spaces and a vibrant community atmosphere, punctuated by cafés and gathering places.

Although tucked away in a quiet position, the Historic Dockyard is within easy reach of local amenities, restaurants, pubs and the cinema at Chatham Marina.
