In an attractive Victorian terrace, a light touch has created a stylish home ideal for a sociable lifestyle with underlying practicality – like the painted wooden or oak flooring throughout.
Open and airy by day with a broad bay window and high ceiling, in the evenings the living room transforms into a welcoming haven when the lights are dimmed and the owners wood burning stove is lit. Downstairs, a spacious kitchen diner/ family room has the feel good factor with windows at each end, and there are also French doors which open to the sunny veranda, perfect for al fresco entertaining. Sociable, but safely tucked away from the in-out flow by a peninsular island which doubles as a breakfast bar, the kitchen’s thoughtfully designed with plenty of units, family friendly surfaces and a big cupboard which keeps it fuss free. Two levels of lighting add sophistication, plumbing’s in place for machines and the multi fuel range could stay, subject to circumstance.
Another, unexpected level leads out to a remarkably spacious garden for this central location, made private by mature trees and scented climbers. Tucked quietly away by a waterfall is an area ideal for quiet catch ups when the children – or guests- have gone to bed. Inside, a glamorous bathroom has both a corner bath and separate walk in Triton shower – and the black glitter wall panels and heated rail for towels will make you feel special.
Usual in Hanoverian homes, the first of the tranquil bedrooms is on the ground floor with leafy views over the garden and a fitted wardrobe ready for your move. Upstairs, the second double bedroom also has a wardrobe and the window frames a glittering city scape which sweeps across to Downland. Spanning the buildings’ width, you’ll sleep well in a master bedroom with restful proportions and calm décor, and the willowy east facing bay brings in the morning sun.
the lifestyle
Hanover’s known for its laid- back friendly community, organic shops and bistro pubs. Well served for schools and green spaces including Queen’s Park, it’s close to the Level which hosts arts events for which Brighton is known. The vibrant North Laine and London Road with a plethora of fashionable shops, restaurants and bars to explore are within easy reach on foot or by bus and the cultural heart of the city is about 5 minutes by cab. Transport links into the city, to the hospitals and the universities are frequent and within a stroll of this stylish home and Brighton Station with its fast service to Gatwick (30 mins) and London (55) is readily accessible.
agent's thoughts
In a convenient location for the city and station - and in a good school catchment area near Queen’s Park and the Level, why wait?
what the owner says
“This is a friendly street where everyone says hello and all the children (and/or the dogs!) play together. Good for a quiet life after work, it’s also close to all the things we enjoy as a couple like the local bistro pubs, and you can walk to the North Laine with its great choice of entertainment.”
