House For Sale £575,000
A beautifully presented three-bedroom Victorian-style house in the heart of Hanover with plenty of space for entertaining inside - or out in the sunny garden. This bright and cheery family home is situated on one of Hanover’s most desirable streets, moments from the leafy Level and a short walk to the city centre. No expense has been spared in a stylish refurbishment where the ground floor is guest and pet friendly with classic oak floors for a sociable in/out flow and a stunning, fully fitted kitchen/diner is ready to party with oak-framed doors to the garden. Up a glass and oak staircase, the meticulous attention to detail continues in the three quiet double bedrooms and two bathrooms – one of which is en-suite. Hanover attracts professionals, families and investors as there is a choice of good primary schools within a five-minute radius, major employers are within easy reach (the Royal Sussex County Hospital is a 10-minute bike ride) the station serving Gatwick and London nearby and our beaches and glorious countryside of the National Park are easy to reach.

Hanover is known for its friendly, pro-organic community, artistic events and quiet convenience, and this pretty home with a cheerful east/west orientation has plenty of kerb appeal. Inside is far bigger than it looks from the quiet street, and inside, the hallway’s crisp lines and contemporary doors introduce you to the sophisticated interior design. Light and spacious, the living room’s broad bay with plantation shutters makes it a cheerful retreat to return to by day, and crisp decoration, sculptural radiator and oak flooring make it ideal for a relaxed but chic lifestyle.
Running along the back of the house the fabulous kitchen/diner opens to the garden, ideal for al fresco entertaining and it is skilfully designed as the working areas of the kitchen are safely tucked away from the in/out flow behind a sociable island which has discreet ambient lighting. Streamlined units provide ample storage and wood working surfaces, and integrated appliances include a sleek touch induction hob beneath a hood and both a combi and electric oven at eye level.
Outside, the garden has Astro turf for ease of maintenance, and it is level with the house – a feature surprisingly hard to find in a city built on the South Downs. Child and pet secure with walls and fences it faces east but is open to the south, and it is a sheltered suntrap scented by the fruits of a passionflower with a bar which could perhaps stay - so perfect for parties! A large but well-hidden bike shelter with a living roof offers useful space to store outdoor equipment.
Upstairs, the family bathroom is a classic black and white, with a shower above the bath and a practical finish. Guests or sharers will love the first of the double bedrooms which is quiet at the back, and with plenty of natural light. It is currently used as a comfortable home office and guest bedroom with garden views. Spanning the full width of the house, the principal bedroom is an oasis of calm with restful proportions, tasteful décor and a broad west bay window to bring in the Sussex sunshine. En suite, the luxury shower room is glamorous, with high end fittings which are right on trend. At the top of the house, the large, part-vaulted third bedroom has a generous 4.2m x 4.1m (13’8 x 13’7) in which to spread your wings, and you can sleep beneath a Velux which frames the stars.
Owner's Secret:
“All of the rooms are generous sizes and bright. The spacious kitchen/diner is our favourite space: It works well for us as a family, as well as when entertaining and friends envy our easy-to-maintain garden. We love being so central too - just a short walk to the North Laine, the Sea Life Centre and Brighton Pier. The street is friendly, with little traffic, and has a mix of people in it. It’s a great spot if you don’t have children too – Hanover has so many excellent pubs, with great food. We love cycling down to the Level, along the green open spaces of Valley Gardens and along the coastal paths towards Hove or Kemptown; There is always something to do in the evenings, and it’s an easy walk or short bus ride to the city’s main theatres and venues – we rarely need to drive anywhere."
Agent's Thoughts:
“People are beginning to realise that Hanover delivers quiet, spacious homes with swift access into or out of the city. Ready to move into, this stylish house also offers plenty of space if you work from home, or if you commute, the station is nearby."

The famous North Laines and cosmopolitan Marina are all swift to reach. For commuters, the station serving Gatwick and London is nearby. There is no waiting list for V zone parking and at the bottom of the hill, both London Road or Lewes Road will take you straight into or out of the city.
