3 Bedrooms End terrace house for sale in High Street, Upper Upnor ME2 | £ 449,000

Property Description

Steeped in Naval and Military history Albermarle Cottage was built, we believe, by the Duke of Albermarle, circa 1665, as one of the first residential dwellings in this quaint cobbled High Street a few steps from Upnor Castle. Built at a time when the Duke was serving with the navy against the Dutch. This period home with beamed walls, ceilings and wide plank flooring has all the charm and character you would expect from a property in that era, yet seamlessly harmonised with all that would be required for modern living. Extended to the rear to offer an enormous 28’ kitchen/diner which has the bonus of a large roof terrace extending the areas for Al fresco entertaining. A rarity in the High Street is parking which is the cherry on the cake. Two homely public houses and a minutes’ walk to the River. Highly Recommended.
