Description

This late-Victorian three-bedroom period home, with views towards the River Medway visible between neighbouring properties, off-road parking for up to three vehicles and a generously sized garden, has been a much-loved family home for over ten years.

Situated within Borstal village and approximately 1.4 miles from historic Rochester, the property is well placed for the city’s independent shops, cafés, restaurants, historic attractions and railway station.

The accommodation offers plenty of character and flexibility, together with useful storage throughout. To the rear is an additional conservatory/sun room overlooking the garden, complete with a wood-burning stove and providing a useful additional space for relaxing, entertaining, hobbies or home working. Buyers should satisfy themselves regarding the planning and Building Regulations status of this additional structure.

Upstairs are three bedrooms together with a Jack-and-Jill shower room accessed directly from both the principal bedroom and Bedroom 2.

The principal bedroom is a good-sized, light-filled room with built-in storage and an outlook towards the River Medway and surrounding area. The elevated position has also provided the current owners with some memorable sunsets and views of fireworks at certain times of the year.

Bedroom 3 overlooks the rear garden and is a bright and versatile room which has previously been used as a study.

The property could suit first-time buyers as well as those looking for a good-sized family home, and offers potential for further alteration or extension, subject to the necessary planning permission, Building Regulations and other required consents.

Outside is a generously sized rear garden together with off-road parking for up to three vehicles.
