Life could be a dream in this stunning Rochester mansion house. All you need is a couple of million pounds.

whose parents bought the house, recalls fun and games growing up there.She said: “One of the most unique features of the property has to be the huge hall that we think was added around 140 years ago.

“It’s beautifully constructed and features a solid oak floor and a stage.

“It was an amazing space for us children as we were growing up; we learned to ride our bikes in there, it housed our table tennis table and it was also a terrific venue for parties.

“I even had my wedding reception in there.”

The house is a very imposing building, but it has such a warm and inviting atmosphere that it never felt overwhelming or austere; it was a lovely home to grow up in.

All the rooms are generously proportioned and it retains a wealth of the most gorgeous original features. Over the years my parents made a few changes here and there, but the house as a whole is largely as it was when it was originally built; it hasn’t been messed about with or hugely modernised, it’s still the very elegant family home it was intended to be.

The garden is a really lovely feature of the house and was such a magical place when I was young with so many different areas to enjoy. When you are out in any part of the garden it’s often hard to believe that you are in the centre of a thriving town.

My favourite room would probably be the drawing room or ‘the big lounge’ as we’ve always called it. It features a really ornate recessed seating area as well as huge mirrors that have beautifully carved surrounds. It’s just such an elegant room.
