Tucked away in a peaceful cul-de-sac in Rochester, this beautifully presented three-bedroom home offers something that can be surprisingly difficult to find, a quiet setting, generous living space and a stylish interior where all the hard work has already been done. Built in 2006 and lovingly maintained and improved by the current owners, the property has been thoughtfully extended to create a home that feels welcoming, practical and perfectly suited to modern family life. With off-road parking, an EV charging point and the option of no forward chain, this is a home you can simply move into and start enjoying.

From the outside, the attractive red-brick frontage gives the property a smart, contemporary appearance, while its position along a no-through road means you can enjoy a quieter pace of life without feeling disconnected from everything Rochester has to offer.

Step through the front door and you're welcomed into an entrance hallway, with a beautifully finished downstairs cloakroom providing a practical addition for everyday family life and visiting guests. The attention to detail is immediately apparent, with tasteful decoration and quality finishes that continue throughout the property.

To the front of the house sits the modern fitted kitchen, a lovely combination of style and functionality. Soft grey shaker-style cabinetry is complemented by warm wooden worktops, attractive tiled splashbacks and carefully chosen finishes that give the room a welcoming, homely feel. There's plenty of cupboard and preparation space, while the impressive range-style cooker provides a wonderful focal point for anyone who enjoys cooking. Whether it's preparing breakfast before the school run or taking your time over a Sunday roast, this is a kitchen designed to be used and enjoyed.

Moving towards the rear of the property, you'll discover where this home really comes into its own. The lounge is a wonderfully comfortable space, generously proportioned and offering plenty of room for the whole family to relax. There's space for large sofas, a family film night or simply putting your feet up at the end of a busy day, but it's the way this room flows into the extended dining area that makes the ground floor so appealing.

The current owners have extended into the rear garden to create a superb dining space that transforms how the home can be enjoyed. Open to the lounge, it provides a natural connection between relaxing, dining and entertaining, while still giving each area its own character.

Two roof windows allow natural light to pour into the dining room, while the beautiful log-burning stove, set against a striking herringbone-tiled feature wall and framed by rich blue wall panelling, brings warmth and personality to the space. It's easy to picture family dinners around the table, friends gathering for an evening together or a cosy winter Sunday with the fire glowing in the background.

And when the warmer weather arrives, the large sliding glass doors can be opened to connect the dining area with the garden, creating a wonderful space for summer entertaining.

Outside, the rear garden has been designed with low maintenance and enjoyment in mind. Rather than spending your weekends mowing lawns and tending to flowerbeds, you can make the most of the generous paved seating area, ideal for outdoor dining, barbecues or a quiet morning coffee. Contemporary boundary fencing provides a smart finish and a sense of privacy, while a useful garden shed offers additional storage. It's a manageable outdoor space that complements the lifestyle this home has been designed around.

Upstairs, the first floor continues the same well-presented feel, with three bedrooms and a modern family bathroom arranged around the landing.

The main bedroom is a comfortable double, beautifully decorated in calming tones and benefitting from fitted storage that makes excellent use of the space. With room for a large bed and additional bedroom furniture, it provides a relaxing retreat at the end of the day.

The second bedroom is another well-proportioned room, currently arranged as a bedroom with space for a desk, demonstrating its versatility. Whether you're accommodating children, welcoming overnight guests or looking for somewhere to work from home, there's flexibility to suit your needs.

The third bedroom provides further options, making an ideal child's bedroom, nursery, home office or dressing room depending on your circumstances.

Completing the first floor is the contemporary family bathroom, finished with stylish tiling, a bath with shower and glass screen, modern sanitaryware and a chrome heated towel rail. Like the rest of the property, it's been carefully maintained and thoughtfully presented.
