15 Florence Street is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Rochester (ME2 4SX). It has a recorded floor area of 65 m² (around 700 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band B.

Held since March 2007 — that's 19 years off the open market, well above the local norm.

Today's modelled estimate of £237,000 sits 78.2% above the 2007 sale of £133,000.
