3 bed detached house for sale

Colewood Drive, Rochester, Kent ME2

Nestled in a premium position on a highly sought after cul-de-sac, this beautifully presented three-bedroom detached home offers a rare mix of immediate comfort and exciting future potential.

Built by the reputable house builder rj Billings, the property is ideal for those seeking a ‘move-in ready’ home with the added benefit of planning permission granted for a substantial extension under planning reference number 20230840 on the Gravesham planning portal. The approved plans provide the option to create a significantly larger footprint (+67%), making this an exceptional opportunity for multigenerational living or growing families who need flexible space; with CGI visuals and elevations included in the photo reel showing what’s possible. With precedent set by neighbouring homes, more ambitious plans could be explored, subject to the necessary approvals.

The home enjoys uninterrupted countryside views to the rear and sits on a generous plot with a large frontage, a resin driveway, and an integral garage, providing ample off-street parking. Additional unrestricted on-street parking is also available.

Inside, a spacious entrance hall leads to a bright and airy main lounge, complete with log burner and sliding doors that open into a conservatory. The conservatory is ideal for summer dining or entertaining, with French doors leading out to the garden. A versatile room off of the lounge offers flexibility as a fourth/guest bedroom, home office, formal dining room, or playroom.

The separate kitchen boasts panoramic views over the garden and countryside, whilst a utility and boot room provides practical access to the rear. A downstairs shower room with natural stone tiling and high-end finishes adds further convenience. The integral garage and adjacent storage room offer potential for conversion into a ground-floor en-suite bedroom, as seen in other homes on the street.

Upstairs, the home features three generous double bedrooms. Bedrooms one and two include fitted wardrobes, while bedroom three also offers ample space. A well-appointed family bathroom includes a separate free standing bath, shower, toilet, and wash basin. A large storage cupboard above the stairs provides excellent storage or the potential to accommodate a staircase for a loft conversion, subject to planning—again, a route taken by neighbouring properties.

The home benefits from double glazing throughout and a megaflow gas central heating system installed c.2 years ago. This system has been oversized to accommodate a future extension, ensuring the home is future-proofed for any new owners.

The mature, private rear garden features established trees and shrubs along the boundaries, enhancing privacy. A patio area and a well-maintained lawn create a practical outdoor space to enjoy; complemented by side access and a greenhouse. Beyond the rear fence, the rolling hills of Higham provide a stunning natural backdrop.

Adding to the appeal is the warm and welcoming community spirit of the cul-de-sac with its friendly neighbours and previous street parties, making it an especially attractive choice for families.

Perfectly positioned for commuters, the property is just minutes from the A2 and M2, offering swift access to London and the Kent coast. Strood and Rochester train stations are nearby, both offering High-Speed services to London.

Families will appreciate the proximity to well-regarded schools including Gads Hill, Rochester Grammar, and Strood Academy. For leisure, the Three Crutches pub, Rochester & Cobham Golf Club, and the historic town of Rochester—with its restaurants and castle—are all within easy reach. Bluewater Shopping Centre is just a 20-minute drive away, offering a wide range of retail and dining options.
