13, King Edward Road, Rochester, ME1 1UB

Fine & Country presents a distinguished seven-bedroom residence on one of Rochester’s most coveted roads, where elegant contemporary interiors, charming period features and beautifully curated spaces combine to create a home of rare scale, style, and versatility.

One of only four homes of its kind on King Edward Road, this handsome Arts & Crafts influenced Victorian property has been thoughtfully transformed into an exceptional family home, balancing timeless character with the comfort and convenience demanded by modern living.

Set back from the road with an immediate sense of arrival, the house unfolds across four impressive floors, extending to approximately 3,174 sq/ ft of beautifully balanced accommodation.

High ceilings, sash windows, restored fireplaces, original timber floors, shutters, decorative cornicing, and a striking curved mahogany staircase speak to the home’s heritage, while the meticulous renovation introduces elegant cast iron radiators, brass switches, sockets and hardware, together with refined contemporary finishes throughout.

The ground floor offers a wonderful blend of open and formal living spaces.

At its heart is an exceptional kitchen and family room, light filled and beautifully appointed, featuring traditional shaker style cabinetry, elegant work tops and a range of desirable integrated appliances.

A central island naturally becomes the social hub of the home, while doors opening to the garden create an effortless connection between indoors and out, ideal for relaxed mornings, busy family days and summer gatherings.

Beyond, a formal reception room enjoys doors opening onto the garden, drawing in natural light and providing an elegant setting in which to unwind.

Double doors connect seamlessly to the formal dining room, allowing the rooms to work beautifully together for entertaining.

A further reception room, currently arranged as a playroom, offers excellent flexibility and could equally serve as a snug, library or dedicated study.

The first floor continues to impress, centred around a luxurious principal bedroom suite with opulent en suite facilities, creating a calm and indulgent retreat.

Four further bedrooms are arranged across this level, served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom and utility room with W.C.

The second floor adds yet another dimension to the home’s versatility, offering a beautifully arranged private living space with an open plan lounge and kitchenette, which could equally be utilised as an additional bedroom if desired.

Complemented by a further generous bedroom and luxurious bath/shower room, this level is ideal for extended family, independent teenagers, long-stay guests or those seeking a greater sense of independence within the home.

Throughout these spaces, natural stone finishes including marble and limestone create a refined backdrop, complemented by high-quality Burlington fittings, freestanding bathtubs, separate showers and a level of finish carried consistently into the utility areas.

At the lower ground level, internal access leads to a substantial cellar and generous single garage, currently providing excellent storage and secure space for a vehicle.

Subject to the necessary permissions, there is exciting potential to create a self-contained lower ground floor apartment.

Behind the scenes, the property has benefited from a comprehensive modernisation programme, including the installation of new electrical and plumbing systems, a high-efficiency boiler, pressurised hot water and zoned Google Nest heating across each floor.

A Ubiquiti enterprise-grade WiFi system with hard-wired connectivity ensures fast, reliable coverage throughout the house, perfectly suited to modern family life and home working.
