3 bed property for sale

Elaine Avenue, Rochester ME2

A beautifully presented home with a rare self-contained brick-built annexe and an impressive 190ft garden, offering a level of flexibility and lifestyle appeal seldom found in this part of Strood.

This attractive three-bedroom semi-detached property is well maintained throughout and offers comfortable, versatile accommodation with a contemporary feel. The main house provides practical living space suited to modern family life, while the standout feature is the detached annexe positioned within the rear garden.

Built in brick and fully self-contained, the annexe extends to approximately 29 sqm and includes its own kitchenette and shower room facilities. Previously used as a recording studio, it has been professionally soundproofed through both its construction and finishing, creating an exceptionally private and adaptable space. A fully installed Daikin air-conditioning unit provides both heating and cooling for year-round comfort, while the loft has been double insulated for thermal and acoustic performance.

Far more than a simple garden room, it offers genuine independent space ideal for a home office, studio, guest accommodation, multi-generational living, or a private workspace.

The rear garden extends to approximately 190ft and provides a generous, private setting with lawned areas, mature planting, established trees and seating spaces. Off-street parking sits to the front, while the location offers convenient access to local amenities, schools including Elaine Primary School, and excellent transport links, with Strood station providing high-speed services to London St Pancras in around 40 minutes.

Homes combining a well-presented main residence with a substantial self-contained annexe of this quality are rarely available, making this a distinctive and highly desirable opportunity.
