What The Owner Says:

"I moved into Ruxton Square in March of 2020. Quite a challenging time for us all - but the other residents in the Square made me feel very welcome and shared information from a distance. I have loved seeing all the children growing up and going to the primary school opposite and then on to a variety of Secondary schools, all in walking distance. There is a very wholesome atmosphere in the Square with a wide range of ages and people. I have absolutely loved the proximity to Rochester High Street and all it has to offer. The town can be heaving with people here for festivals, music, or general historic visits, and one is able to go down and join in with all the festivities and escape back to Union Street with it’s quiet order and calm. Being so close to the train station has made it possible for friends to come through to spend time in the town with me, or for me to go off to London or Canterbury on the train for a show. The Vines is a great place to walk or take the children to play with a ball, and there is an annual cherry festival there which is so much fun. The Cathedral is a very active part of the community and holds interesting exhibitions, has an adventure golf range in the summer, and wonderful concerts throughout the year – from rock and roll to classical music. I love being able to walk down the High Street and buy fresh fish from the cj Hook, fresh veggies and fruit from Austens, dog food from the Hound Hut and a decent bottle of wine from Rochester Wine Emporium, not to mention the wealth of delicious baked goods from many places along the High Street. All in all I have had a very happy time living here. I have regularly entertained family and friends with a Barbeque in the garden, and in the summer it is really peaceful to sit out on the deck. It’s a great place to live."
