About
An exceptional opportunity to rent a brand new apartment within one of Rochford's most iconic historic buildings.
The Old Police Station has been sympathetically transformed into an exclusive gated development of just 12 apartments, combining the character and heritage of this landmark building with the comfort, style and convenience of modern living.
Originally serving the local community for many years, the former police station has been carefully redeveloped to create a stunning collection of homes finished to an impressive specification throughout.
Each apartment has been thoughtfully designed with high ceilings and generous proportions, creating bright and airy living spaces that retain a sense of the building's original character.
The interiors have been finished to a high standard, offering contemporary kitchens, stylish bathrooms and quality fixtures and fittings throughout.
Set behind secure gates, the development provides a safe and private environment for residents.
Every apartment benefits from an allocated parking space, with each space equipped with its own electric vehicle charging point, ensuring the development is ready for modern and sustainable living.
Perfectly positioned in the heart of Rochford, residents can enjoy the best of both town and country living.
Rochford's charming High Street, with its selection of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities, is just a short walk away.
The town itself is renowned for its friendly community atmosphere, historic character and attractive surroundings, making it one of Essex's most desirable places to live.
For commuters, Rochford Railway Station is conveniently located nearby, providing direct services into London Liverpool Street in approximately 50 minutes, making this an ideal location for those working in the capital whilst enjoying a more relaxed lifestyle closer to the Essex coast.
The area is also well served by beautiful parks, open green spaces and countryside walks, offering plenty of opportunities for outdoor recreation and leisure.
Nearby Southend-on-Sea provides award-winning beaches, seafront attractions and a vibrant social scene, all within easy reach.
Ready for occupation later this month, The Old Police Station represents a rare opportunity to become part of Rochford's history whilst enjoying the benefits of a brand-new home.
