Live within the walls of Kent’s fascinating maritime with this six-bedroom home in Chatham.

This Grade I listed building, on the market for £1.6m, sits within the Historic Dockyard Chatham and is one of 12 properties built in 1727 for the principal officers of the dockyard.

While the home has been updated for modern living, the Georgian architecture and original features, such as traditional fireplaces, exposed timber floors and wood panelled walls, has maintained the rich history of this beautiful family home.

Despite being a terrace house, there is almost 7,000 square feet of space, including six bedrooms and a storage room, which could be converted into a seventh bedroom if needed - perfect for large families or those who often have friends coming to visit.

You will also find four large attic rooms and three reception rooms, so there’s plenty of space to entertain.

You can even impress your guests by showing them around the magnificent wine cellar, state-of-the-art cinema room and home gym.

When it comes to practicality, the home features three luxurious bathrooms, a spacious kitchen with high-end fitted appliances and views of the courtyard, multiple storage rooms and a garage, as well as off-road parking options.

Just outside the kitchen is the delightful inner courtyard, which offers a great space for al fresco dining, and, to the rear of the house, there is an immaculate 18th century walled garden.

If you want to go further afield, you have the Historic Dockyard Chatham and its incredible grounds, attractions and architecture on your doorstep.

With 400 years of heritage and 80 acres of grounds, including points of interest such as the ropery, historic railway and HM Submarine Ocelot, all set against views of the river, you can spend hours exploring your surroundings.
