Eastgate House, Rochester, Tudor mansion in Rochester, England
Eastgate House stands as a timber-framed structure with decorative brickwork, featuring multiple floors connected by period staircases and adorned with oak paneling throughout.
The residence, constructed in 1590, underwent transformations from a family dwelling to a Victorian school before becoming a protected Grade I listed building.
Charles Dickens incorporated this building into his literary works, including The Pickwick Papers and The Mystery of Edwin Drood, cementing its place in English literature.
The building contains a lift accessing the first and second floors, while the nearest transportation hub, Rochester station, connects visitors to various parts of Kent.
The gardens contain Charles Dickens's Swiss Chalet, which served as his personal writing studio and has been preserved in its original condition.
