Built in the mid-1800s, Rochester Mansions is an iconic period building with a striking white façade, ornate canted bay windows, and beautifully restored communal areas featuring the original Victorian tiles, an impressive sweeping staircase, and a charming heritage lift. Extensive major works, completed within the last six months, include a brand-new roof, full exterior re-rendering, and complete internal redecoration.

Inside, this bright and airy home combines elegant period character with modern comfort. The dual-aspect layout fills the flat with natural light and offers partial sea views from the living space. A generous open-plan lounge and dining area flows effortlessly into a stylish contemporary J-Pull kitchen in deep green, complete with integrated appliances and clever built-in storage, including a hidden laundry cupboard.
The unusually spacious hallway creates an inviting sense of arrival and can easily accommodate a work-from-home area. The peaceful double bedroom is well proportioned, with ample space for wardrobes and a large sash window overlooking the courtyard. A modern bathroom with shower over bath completes this delightful home.
Careful attention has been given to every detail, from refurbished sash windows and new Velux skylights to fresh décor and finishes sympathetic to the building’s heritage. The result is a welcoming, well-balanced home that is easy to maintain and full of character.
Residents of Rochester Mansions enjoy a genuine sense of community, with most flats owner-occupied and a proactive group of freeholders who take pride in maintaining the building. The block is fully managed, adding to the ease of everyday living.
