We spent a great 90 minutes here exploring this fascinating house. Would highly recommend if you’re in the area and/or interested in learning more about Dickens. Don’t forget to see Dickens’ chalet outside round the back too!

One of many buildings in Rochester that inspired local writer Charles Dickens. The garden is open to the public and is now home to Dickens's writing chalet.

An interesting house with lots of history. Friendly staff. Lovely gardens at the back of the property where you can see the outside of Charles Dickens writing chalet.

A very interesting place with history wa y back to 1590.
Dickins is said to have written some of his work here in a chalet which I think is available to view,
Charles dickins also mentions this venue twice including in the pickwick papers.

The house is closed on Mondays but the gardens are always open. I love this time of year when the lavender is in full bloom and the herbaceous borders are brimming with bright blooms and bees. The gardens are a quiet spot. It’s never packed. There are plenty of benches and shady spots or full sun if you like to sit on the grass and bring a picnic. I just love it here.

Step back in time at Eastgate house has been turned back in to a museum with work ongoing. Good venue for weddings got married here ten years ago. Beautiful old building. Good entry price well worth a look.

I visited on a day trip from London and checked their website and Twitter to confirm it was open. I arrived to discover it was closed for a wedding. I think it's very disrespectful to the wider public to close without any thought for the people who can't just come back the next day.
