4 bed detached house for sale

St. Margarets Street, Rochester ME1

A distinctive Grade II listed detached home, part weatherboarded and set on one of Rochester’s most sought-after residential roads.

Mill House, dating back to the 18th century, is a substantial four double bedroom home elevated above St Margaret's Street with a beautiful walled wraparound garden and ample off-street parking. The current owners have tastefully enhanced the property, allowing any new owner to move straight in.

A grand central hallway features the original staircase and leads to three reception rooms—two with log burners—and a spacious kitchen/dining room with limestone flooring, underfloor heating, a large fireplace with log burner, and bespoke cabinetry. The kitchen includes a built-in dishwasher, oak worktops, and a freestanding Stoves range cooker with 7 gas burners, three ovens, and a grill.

Upstairs are four generous double bedrooms, a stylish main bathroom with freestanding bath and separate shower, a second bathroom, and a downstairs cloakroom. Period features such as sash windows (many with original shutters), fireplaces, and doors have been preserved.

Two cellar chambers, both with power and lighting, serve as a workroom and house the central heating boiler, with external access. The landscaped garden includes lawn areas, planted beds, a raised terrace for outdoor dining, a more secluded patio, and a wooden canopy sheltering an 8-person hot tub. An underground air raid shelter is also accessible from the garden.

A brick block driveway offers parking for four vehicles and includes an EV charging point.

The property is within walking distance of excellent schools, including King's School, Rochester Girls Grammar, and the Mathematical School. Rochester’s mainline station, also nearby, provides fast services to London and connections via Ebbsfleet, plus excellent road links to London, Canterbury, Maidstone, Bluewater, and Gatwick via the A2, M2, M20, and M25.
