Detached house for sale in High Street, Upnor, Rochester ME2

Steeped in history and oozing character and charm, formally semi detached converted into a detached cottage, beautifully presented throughout, situated on the historic Upnor High Street.

A rare opportunity has arisen to purchase a real piece of history.
Formally two semi detached cottages, this four bedroom Grade II listed detached house was converted back in the 80’s.
This former fisherman’s cottage, believed by the owner to be approximately 400 years old is steeped in history and offers lots of original features from exposed wooden beams, original fire places and low ceilings!
Internally the current sellers have modernised and updated without any expense spared creating a truly wonderful and charming character home.
Arranged over three levels, internally the layout has been carefully designed that has enabled the building to be transformed into one dwelling. The layout is very well co-ordinated with each room holding its own identity and serving a purpose. The basements have been modernised into two useful rooms, with the ground floor offering the two reception rooms, fitted kitchen and bright shower room. The four bedrooms are all on the first floor.
The southerly facing rear garden is very surprising and offers a very unexpected size! This again has been transformed by the current sellers who have designed a very attractive garden that is laid to lawn with an abundance of flowers and shrubs with a patio and separate decking area which is tucked away to the rear of the garden and has proven to be a real sun trap during the summer months. The oil central heating tank is also situated in the rear garden and is well hidden away behind the shrubbery.
