Fine & Country have the distinct pleasure to introduce White Friars, a resplendent example of Georgian architecture. This Grade II Listed Regency Townhouse occupies a private and elevated position on prestigious Boley Hill, offering nearly 5,000 Sq/ Ft of elegantly refined interiors, with uninterrupted views over the River Medway, Rochester Castle, and the magnificent Cathedral, a timeless and awe-inspiring setting for daily life.

Built between 1790 and 1806, White Friars is a home of rare architectural distinction. All principal rooms command captivating vistas over the river, creating a wonderful interplay of light and landscape throughout the house. At its heart, this is a warm and inviting family home, one that lends itself equally to grand entertaining or more relaxed, informal living, with a wealth of intimate spaces for peaceful contemplation.

From the moment you enter, the soaring vaulted ceiling of the hallway sets the tone for what lies beyond. The Smallbone kitchen is crafted in walnut with granite worktops, Miele appliances and a Wolf induction hob, a perfect blend of luxury and practicality. Beyond, the formal dining room features a striking Regency bow window, an architectural focal point that captures both the style and grace of the period. After dinner, guests may retire to the comfort of the drawing room, where classical columns and sash windows frame a truly elegant space to relax and unwind.

The lower ground floor provides a suite of highly versatile, adaptable spaces, thoughtfully arranged to include a large reception room, gym, additional study, utility room, wine store and extensive storage areas. Original flagstone floors and generous proportions allow this level to serve multiple lifestyle needs while retaining its historical integrity.

A graceful staircase ascends to the upper floors, where five double bedrooms are arranged across two storeys. The principal suite is a sanctuary of calm, complete with a dressing room and luxurious en suite. Two further bedrooms on the first floor are served by an equally refined family bathroom. The top floor reveals two more generous double bedrooms, each enjoying elevated views, and two large storage rooms offering practicality or future potential.

The formal gardens have been professionally designed to echo the Regency elegance of the home. Fine lawns are arranged across three stone-edged terraces, bordered by pleached trees, Italian cypress and sculpted topiary. A tranquil koi pond creates a peaceful focal point, while a hot tub has been cleverly positioned to provide both privacy and inspiring views over the river, a perfect setting for outdoor entertaining or quiet relaxation alike.

White Friars is peacefully tucked away in the heart of historic Rochester. A short stroll brings you to the cobbled High Street, where a vibrant mix of cafés, acclaimed restaurants and eclectic boutique shops reflect the town’s unique character. Excellent schooling, including King’s School and two grammar schools, are close at hand, while fast rail services from Rochester station make commuting to London swift and convenient. With riverside walks, a nearby marina, and a full calendar of cultural events and festivals, White Friars offers not only architectural beauty, but an exceptional lifestyle.
