Property DESCRIPTIONOwn your own piece of local history, with this stunning apartment which forms part of a conversion of the Grade II Listed Theatre Royal, originally built in 1899 and is part of a development alongside the adjacent (also listed) Bank Chambers. This particular property has a 'loft' style feel, with it's mezzanine floor bedroom. The living space is abundant and versatile to suit your needs. With the original theatre stairs forming a unique focal point for the home - an exciting conversation starter as well as a sure fire place to congregate over drinks - this home is the perfect place for those who love to entertain. On a practical level, the beautiful kitchen and bathroom are sure to impress, as is the surprising amount of clever storage space. For security and peace of mind, the private entrance of this apartment (which also features original period mosaic tiles from the theatre stage door entrance) is off the street, as is the secure, gated parking space (complete with EV charge point). A commuter's dream, you are a short walk away from Chatham Railway Station. For your down time, Chatham has a fast growing restaurant and pub scene, and a long standing history of live music and entertainment. Rochester High Street is also only 0.7 miles away, to enjoy the daytime history at the castle and cathedral and independent shops, as well as further evening entertainment for which the town is renowned. For a single person, or couple looking for a secure, private home in the heart of town to commute from and/or a pied-à-terre you really could not ask for more - or have something more interesting to welcome guests to!
