Description

A Grade II Listed house of architectural and historic importance, the original house dates from the 17th century with additions in the 19th century, timber frame and brick build with a decorative tile hung facade. Set in the heart of Rochester with a westerly aspect overlooking The Vines park.

A unique opportunity to own this Grade II listed period home, dating from the 17th century with subsequent additions and alterations, under interestingly designed Kent peg tiled roofs and valleys, set in one of the most sought after locations in the heart of Rochester. Available for sale for the first time in over 40 years, the current owner has enjoyed the house as a family home with extensive living accommodation and walled gardens, offering privacy and perfect for entertaining.

The house has a wealth of period features including the dining hall with pine wall panelling and inglenook fireplace, there are sash windows many with original shutters, drawing room with domed ceiling, open 'Adam' style fireplace and walk in bay windows and doors with shutters opening into the garden. There is a sitting room with ceiling and vertical wooden beams, kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, garden room with access to the cellar and the original spiral inner staircase to all floors. There are four double bedrooms over two floors, all with views across The Vines park, a family shower room and separate toilet. At the beginning of World War II the house was amalgamated with 21 Crow Lane as a residence for the WRENS, this was decommissioned in the 1950's when the rear staircase in the dining hall was installed.
The extensive walled garden has been lovingly improved by the current owner, with a large lawn, flower and shrub beds, mature trees, rose garden and interestingly historically a WWII ARP gun emplacement. There is a cobbled courtyard with outbuildings - a large office/workshop and store room the latter previously a garage. The double gates lead to a long driveway and substantial oak car port with roof storage.

The house lies within a conservation area and sits well with historic landmarks including its near neighbour Restoration House, the Cathedral, Chertsey Castle Gate, Rochester Castle and the restored, vibrant High Street with its independent shops, cafes and restaurants. Rochester is well known for its association with Charles Dickens and hosts a variety of cultural festivals during the year, such as Sweeps, Dickensian Christmas and Castle gardens concerts. The attractive High Street is lined with a selection of period buildings dating from Georgian and Victorian times. There are a range of schools, private and state, including Kings School, Rochester Girls Grammar School and the Mathematical school all within walking distance. The mainline station is within a few minutes' walk and has excellent services to London Cannon Street, Charing Cross, Victoria and a hi-speed service to Ebbsfleet (18min), Stratford and St Pancras (38 min). There are also excellent road links via the A2, M2, M20 and M25 to Maidstone, Canterbury, London, Bluewater shopping centre, Ebbsfleet International Station and Gatwick Airport.
