Hanover is a popular district of Brighton, characterised by its terraces of colourfully painted houses. Being in a central location and within walking distance of Brighton Station, it is popular with young professionals and commuters, who value its proximity to the city centre and to transport links. Often considered to be one of Brighton’s bohemian strongholds, it has an active artistic community and a lively atmosphere, with more than its fair share of excellent pubs where you can find good company, great food and live music. Families are attracted here by good local schools and green spaces; Queen’s Park has a playground and a café, and The Level has a playground and a fantastic skate park.
Beaufort Terrace is tucked away off Islingword Road and is an attractive, no-through road, with mature trees and open, green spaces, on one side of the street. In this area of closely built housing, this provides an unexpected and welcome feeling of space as you turn into the road. At the far end of the cul-de-sac, stands this delightful, three-bedroom house. The owners of many of the houses at this end of the street have put benches outside their houses, which gives a welcoming community feel.
Inside, the front door opens to a porch area with space for coats and shoes, and through to a central hallway which has the reception rooms off to the left and the kitchen/dining room to the right. The living room is some 7 metres in length, running the full depth of the house, with a bay window to the front and another window with an outlook onto the garden. The room is decorated in a contemporary style, as are all the rooms in the house, with confident colour choices which give the house an up-to-date and stylish feel. The living room also has wooden floors in excellent condition. On the other side of the house there is a large kitchen/ breakfast room. The kitchen has modern white units and a solid wood work surface, with a white ceramic butler sink and space for a range cooker. A number of skylights fill the room with light and at the garden end there is a distinct area for a dining table. At the far end of the room is a door to a downstairs WC and a further door to the garden.
Outside the garden has been landscaped and is arranged over two levels, with palms and other shrubs in raised borders and climbing plants on the walls. On the upper level there is a space for table and chairs.
On the first floor there are two bedrooms and a bathroom. The larger bedroom at the front of the house has two built-in wardrobes as well as a separate dressing room. This room is currently being used as a home office for two people. The back bedroom also has built-in wardrobes and overlooks the garden. The bathroom is beautifully presented with a modern suite and a shower over the bath. Gorgeous, pink flamingo wallpaper adorns the walls. Finally on the top floor is another large double bedroom, into the eaves, with plenty of storage space and great views at the front of the house.
What the owner says:
“We have lived in the property for 17 years and Beaufort Terrace is just wonderful. We have a street WhatsApp group, we have get-togethers in the street or on the green outside a few times a year and there are a few younger families in the street that get together regularly. It's a really friendly street and everyone is always there to help out if needed. It's an easy walk into the North Laine or to Brighton Station and London and Lewes Road are a few minutes’ walk away as is Queens Park. We will be really sad to leave Beaufort Terrace as there is nowhere we'd rather be in Brighton but we are settling into our new life in Guernsey and are planning to stay for the foreseeable future.”
