Heyy guys! Anyone familiar with chattenden? We are a family of 4 (4year old and a newborn) looking to move into rochester/trood. We saw a house in chattenden and loved it but we don't know much about the area. Any info would help! Thanks x

I would say Wainscott is much nicer than Chattenden and it’s closer to Strood station.

I second this totally. Plus, from wainscott , getting to and from the good schools in and around Stroud is a lot easier or even Gravesend, for the grammar schools.

@Vw01 Rochester is a lovely area, I grew up there and now live in London but we are looking to come back.

I went to Fort Pitt many moons ago, it was a great school, there’s a park not too far from there and I love Rochester high street, especially during summer and Xmas time.

My brother attended the Maths School which was also a good school.

It will always be home for me and I can’t wait to come back xx

Appreciate the info! Very helpful indeed!. To be honest, wainscott, cliffewoods are all under 10min drive for us so not much of an issue... Strood too is only under 15min. So can potentially considering options there. Although admission wise might be harder to get into as we are technically not local to them @Lashestoashes

Hilltop primary in Strood is a great school xx
