St Margarets Street, Rochester, ME1 1TU

Express Estate Agency are delighted to present to the market, for the first time in over 30 years, this magnificent Grade II listed, eight-bedroom semi-detached residence, ideally situated in the heart of Rochester. Steeped in history and full of charm, this truly unique home dates back to 1701 and was originally constructed as an annexe to the neighbouring property. Over the centuries, it has evolved into an impressive and versatile family home. This outstanding residence presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial period home rich in history and character, perfectly positioned for convenient access to local shops, reputable schools, and excellent transport links.

Upon entering, you are welcomed by a grand entrance hall that immediately sets the tone for the property. To the right, a spacious principal reception room offers an elegant and inviting living space. To the rear of the home, you will find a well-appointed ground floor layout comprising a family bathroom, a generous dining area, two conservatories, a kitchen, and a separate utility room.

One of the home’s most intriguing features lies hidden within the kitchen - a secret passageway concealed behind the walls. Following this passage leads to stairs descending to the basement, where the boiler is located, and historically, this basement connected to a network of underground tunnels extending towards the River Medway, believed to have been used by smugglers to transport goods discreetly through the property.

The upper floors offer eight well-proportioned double bedrooms, along with a secondary kitchen and two family bathrooms. One of the bathrooms benefits from exceptional views of Rochester Castle, adding to the home’s remarkable appeal.

The garden provides a private and tranquil retreat, beautifully landscaped with mature trees and planting. Towards the rear, the grounds enjoy stunning elevated views across the River Medway, creating a truly special outdoor setting.
