House For Sale £500,000
The picturesque painted terraces of Hanover rise from the leafy level at the heart of the city to the playground and tennis courts of Queen’s Park, and this characterful two/three bedroom Victorian house between the two has a plenty of space for entertaining inside - or out in the sunny garden. Offering flexible options, next to the living room, the formal dining room with French doors to a paved terrace is currently a comfortable double guest room, whilst the stylish kitchen has a practical layout and also has access to outside ideal for a sociable, al fresco lifestyle. Upstairs, two sunlit bedrooms are peaceful and private, the bathroom is light and airy and a large attic gives food for thought, STC. (Next door have a dormer window at the back.) Hanover attracts professionals, families and investors as there is a choice of good primary schools within a 10 minute walk, major employers are within easy reach - for example, the Royal Sussex County Hospital is a 10 minute bike ride- the station serving Gatwick and London is 15 minutes on foot or 5 by cab and our beaches and glorious countryside of the National Park border the city.

Hanover is known for its friendly, pro-organic community, artistic events and quiet convenience, and this pretty home with a cheerful east/west orientation and double glazing has plenty of kerb appeal. Inside is far bigger than it looks from the quiet street, and although it is good to go (the property is currently let with figures available from the vendors) there are opportunities to ramp up the glamour to create the home of your dreams.
Light and spacious, the living room’s broad bay makes it a cheerful retreat to return to by day, and built in shelving is already on each side of a mantlepiece where you could put in a fireplace for a relaxed but chic lifestyle. Next door, guests can dine in complete seclusion in a private room which opens to the garden but is not overlooked. Sometimes used as a third bedroom or home office in these historic terraces, there is also the choice to join the two receptions together as some neighbours have done, STC.
Past under stair storage, at the end of the hallway a bright and cheerful kitchen is lined with windows with a door to the garden, making al fresco entertaining easy. Well designed, streamlined units provide plenty of user friendly surfaces and the central gas oven could stay, subject to circumstance. Plumbing is in place for a washing machine and as the vendors are relocating, they are happy to discuss the white goods including the under counter fridge.
Outside, the spacious garden is an oasis of calm in the heart of the city which is child and pet secure. Designed for low maintenance, a paved terrace scented by rosemary is ideal for dining, especially as it is level with the house – which is a feature hard to find in our city built on hills - and it has a brick outhouse which could be made perfect for bikes or winter storage. A few steps rise to a second seating level to catch the sun, and with a high wall behind it is more private than many for catchups when children or guests have retired for the night.
Upstairs, the family bathroom is a modern classic with a shower above the bath, plenty of natural light and a practical finish. With views over the garden, the comfortable first floor bedroom has period charm, and not to be outshone, the principal bedroom is a serene refuge to return to, spanning the full width of the property with soothing height and a broad bay window to flood the room with light - and to add a little Victorian romance….
Agent says:
“People are beginning to realise that Hanover delivers quiet, spacious homes in an unpretentious area full of young professionals and families with shops, cafes and bistro pubs nearby as well as swift access by foot, bus or car into or out of the city. Tucked between the Level and Queen’s Park which offer sports and which both host events in the arts festivals, the open air market and legendary North Laine are about a 10 minute walk.”
Owner’s secret:
“All of the rooms are good sizes and nice and bright and the garden is surprisingly large for this central location. The street is friendly and has a mix of people in it as this is a great spot if you don’t have children too -it bridges Kemptown’s beaches to the green of the Level and city centre with ease; there is always something to do whatever you’re into and in the evenings, you won’t need to use the car to go to restaurants or theatres as you can walk or bus everywhere.”
What’s around you:
Shops: Local 2 minutes, North Laine about 10 to walk.
Train Station: Brighton mainline 15 on foot; 6 by cab.
Seafront or park: The Level 4 minutes on foot; Seafront 5 minutes’ by car.
Closest schools:
Primary: Elm Grove, St Luke’s, Fairlight.
Secondary: Varndean/Dorothy Stringer.
Private: Brighton College.<br /><br />Hanover is known for its organic shops and bistro pubs and its easy access to both the Level and Queen’s Park, which both hold events during the arts festivals, and are full of locals enjoying the green spaces, playground and cafes. Within a reasonable walking distance of good schools including St Luke’s and Brighton College, it is ideal for professionals as Kemptown, bordered by beaches, is on the doorstep which hosts Amex and the hospitals, and has a relaxed café culture as well as useful amenities. The famous Lanes, international business district and cosmopolitan Marina are all swift to reach. For commuters, the station serving Gatwick and London is about 15 minutes by bus, 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.
