Why you’ll like it:
Enjoy the best of all worlds in historic Hanover, known for its artistic community and friendly organic shops, where pretty painted terraces rise from the foot of the famous North Laine at the Level to the genteel green open spaces of Queen’s Park. Bridging the sea and the countryside there’s something for everyone here and this quiet one way road is a popular one, where properties sell fast. Outside, this neat, terraced house (attached to a single storey building on one side) house radiates period charm – although the large windows are now discreetly energy efficient, and this sensitive design approach continues inside.

Inside, the ground floor has been opened up to create an inviting streamlined space where engineered oak is underfoot, the ceilings are surprisingly high and both a large window at the front and French doors from the kitchen area bathe the room with light. Cottage by name but not by nature, there’s a versatile 7.78m x 3.39m (25’6 x 11’1) to enjoy with friends and family.
At the far end of the room, the stylish kitchen has its own space so although sociable it doesn’t dominate the whole of the living area. A classic beauty which won’t date with shaker units delivering ample storage and hardy, solid wood surfaces it’s good to go with a sleek gas hob and oven beneath a hood, and the vendors are willing to discuss the tall fridge freezer in situ.
Outside the patio is an oasis of calm at the heart of the city, large enough for a table and chairs. A cheerful blank canvas to make you own which is child and pet secure behind fencing, it’s the perfect spot for friends to meet before a day at the beach or exploring our vibrant coastal city at night.

Returning inside, the bathroom is larger than you expect with space for both a bath with a shower attachment and a separate, walk in shower. There is a subtle Victorian influence in the fabulous roll top tub, but there is nothing old fashioned about these high spec fittings or warming rail for towels!
Upstairs, the first of the double bedrooms is at the back with simple but stylish decoration and views over the patio. At the front, the principal bedroom is a peaceful refuge at the end of the day which stretches a generous 3.34 x 2.89m (10’11 x 10’7) and with calm decoration you won’t want to change a thing.

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, sports facilities, playground and cafes. If you teach, it is within a reasonable walking distance of renowned schools including St Luke’s and Brighton College, but also ideal for other professionals as Kemptown, bordered by beaches, is on the doorstep which hosts Amex, Police Station, the hospitals – and Pride- 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 20 mins on foot, or 9 by cab, there is no waiting list for V zone parking and around the corner Elm Grove will take you to the countryside or to the bottom of the hill, where both London Road or Lewes Road will take you straight into or out of the city.
