Property details
The Sir John Falstaff is a characterful village pub located in Higham, close to the historic city of Rochester. Higham is a well-connected Kent village situated between Rochester and Gravesend, offering the benefits of village life while remaining within easy reach of larger towns and transport links. The pub sits at the heart of the community and is well placed to serve both residents and those exploring the surrounding area.
