Description

Located on one of Rochester’s most sought-after roads, this elegant three-bedroom Victorian home blends timeless architecture with modern style. Built in 1870 and extending to around 1,518 sq. ft., it offers three reception rooms, generous bedrooms, and a landscaped garden — all within walking distance of Rochester High Street and the mainline station.

The welcoming entrance hall with herringbone flooring and a feature staircase sets a refined tone. The sitting room enjoys a bay window, soft décor, and a traditional fireplace, while the lounge features sash windows, shutters, and a classic cast-iron surround. Together they create warm, versatile spaces for entertaining or quiet evenings.

To the rear, the bright kitchen/dining room showcases pale-blue cabinetry, quartz worktops, and French doors opening onto the garden. Integrated appliances and generous dining space make it ideal for family living. A handy ground-floor WC completes the layout.

Upstairs, two double bedrooms share a modern shower room, while the top-floor principal suite offers fitted wardrobes, eaves storage, and a private ensuite. Each room is light and elegantly finished to complement the home’s period charm.

Outside, the rear garden provides a tranquil retreat with a neat lawn, mature hedging, and a paved patio perfect for alfresco dining or relaxing in the sun.

Today, Machin Lane is led by Branch Manager Jay Squire, Assistant Manager Cassius Hammond, and Millie Pavey MARLA, Head of Residential Lettings and Property Management — together continuing the founders’ legacy of honest, results-driven estate agency built on relationships, not volume.

Local Knowledge. Modern Approach.

We also provide access to trusted mortgage advisors and conveyancing solicitors, making the buying and selling process simpler and smoother for every client.
