2 bed flat for sale

Corys Road, Rochester ME1

Not your average apartment. Some flats ask you to compromise on space, light or storage. This one doesn't.

On the third floor of Shippick Apartments, this two-bedroom home opens up in exactly the way you'd hope. An entrance hall with real presence leads through to an open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining space stretching over 18 feet, and wide doors framing a view straight out to the balcony and the river beyond. South-facing and flooded with light, it's a room built for actual living, not just photographing well.

The principal bedroom is a genuine double with its own ensuite. The second bedroom flexes easily - guest room, home office, or a flatmate's own space - and both come with storage generous enough that you won't be fighting for wardrobe room. Two bathrooms, both contemporary and fuss-free. And a kitchen laid out for people who actually cook, not just people who boil a kettle.

The numbers stack up too - B energy rating keeps bills sensible. 243 years left on the lease and a peppercorn ground rent mean nothing to worry about there for you or your mortgage lender. Add an allocated parking bay (rare currency this close to town) and visitor permits, and the practical boxes are all ticked.

For investors: At £315,000, with rental projections of £1,450–£1,600 pcm, gross yield lands around 5.5% – 6%. Service charges currently run at approximately £204 per month.

And then there's Rochester - a High Street, cathedral and castle all within walking distance, and a station with high-speed London services just five minutes away. First home, smart downsize, or portfolio addition: This one delivers without the usual "yes, but."
