5 bed terraced house for sale

Hawthorn Road, Rochester ME2

Tucked away in a popular pocket of Strood, this extended five bedroom terrace delivers space, flexibility and sunshine in equal measure. A deep block-paved driveway sets the tone for easy family living, with steps up to a welcoming entrance hall where a handy utility area and ground floor w/c keep day-to-day life neat and organised. From here the house opens out into a generous, free-flowing kitchen, dining and living space, designed for gathering and relaxing. Warm timber cabinetry frames the kitchen, there is plenty of worktop for meal prep, and the room naturally zones for a large table and two distinct seating areas. Wide glazed doors draw the eye to the garden and invite you out the moment the kettle boils.

The south-facing garden stretches to around 55 feet, laid to lawn with a central path that leads to the rear where you will find a garage with vehicular access, ideal for a project car, bikes and weekend kit. The aspect means long, bright afternoons and easy barbecues, and the layout makes it simple to keep an eye on children playing while you potter about.

Upstairs on the first floor are three comfortable bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal room enjoys a wall of fitted wardrobes, making mornings a breeze, while the other rooms are perfect for children, guests or a quiet study. The second floor completes the picture, adding two further bedrooms and a modern shower room. Whether you need separate space for teenagers, a nursery close to parents, or a pair of work-from-home offices, the arrangement provides options that can evolve with you.

Practicalities are well covered. The living room measures an impressive 24'11 by 16', giving you the sort of footprint that swallows big sofas and a play corner with ease. The overall accommodation extends to approximately 126 sq m, so every member of the household can find a spot to call their own. To the front there is off-street parking, and to the rear the garage and access road offer rare extra convenience for a terrace.

The location suits busy families perfectly. Highly regarded schools are close by, placing you within sought-after catchment areas, and Strood High Street is about 1.7 miles away for daily essentials, cafés and conveniences. Commuters will appreciate the high-speed services from Strood station to London, while fast links to the A2 and M2 open up effortless journeys by car. Weekends can be spent exploring historic Rochester, riverside walks and the local parks, then heading home to that sunny garden.

If you have been looking for a substantial, well-connected home where children can grow and guests are always welcome, this bright, extended terrace in Strood is ready to step straight into and make your own.
