Colonial Homes for Sale in Rochester, NH

Find Rochester, NH Colonial Homes for Sale

Rochester is the largest and most inland of the cities this office covers, and it sits at the accessible end of the Seacoast market. The colonials divide between the older houses around the downtown and the Gonic and East Rochester villages, built when the shoe and woollen mills were running, and the later centre entrance houses that filled in along Route 11 and the roads toward Barrington from the nineteen eighties onward. Both appear together here. Great Island Realty can sort them.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Gonic and East Rochester?

Two mill villages within the city of Rochester, each with its own centre and its own housing from the period when the mills on the Cocheco and Salmon Falls were working.

How does Rochester compare with the coast?

It sits further inland with a longer drive to Portsmouth, and its housing stock is largely mill era and postwar rather than coastal or historic.

What should be checked?

Heating and electrical age on the older houses, roof and sill condition, lead paint disclosure, whether additions were permitted, and well and septic on the outlying roads.
