2 bedroom terraced house for sale

Private and quiet this 2 bedroom house has a great finish inside, a sunny, landscaped west facing garden and a large attic which some neighbours have extended into, subject to consents.

Hanover is a sought after spot, its historic, painted terraces rising from the Level at the foot of the North Laine to the tennis courts and pond of Queen's Park.

Outside, this cheerful Victorian property radiates period charm - although the made to measure timber windows are actually energy efficient- (as are the UPC windows to the rear) and these subtle contemporary improvements continue inside as a loving but thorough refurbishment, begun in 2015, includes replacing the kitchen and bathroom, installing a combi boiler in the outhouse, fitting made to measure plantation blinds and expert landscaping of the garden including an extension of the patio.

Inside, the hallway introduces the classical beauty of the interiors with a high ceiling, calm colour choice and engineered oak underfoot which continues into the inviting double depth living room. A large east bay window at the front brings in the sunshine, a tall window at the dining end frames garden views and there is both a handsome old school radiator and a wood burning stove for cooler evenings.

Past under stair storage, a streamlined kitchen is sunny and spacious with plenty of sophisticated storage and quartz surfaces which glitter beneath a choice of lighting levels. Opening to the garden it is perfect for entertaining and integrated appliances include a gas hob and electric oven beneath a hood, a dishwasher and a washing machine and there's still designated space for a tall fridge freezer.

Outside, the spacious patio becomes an extension of the ground floor during summer - and it looks over a lawn surrounded by raised beds planted for colour and scent. There's ample space to share and this tranquil oasis is only a few minutes from the city centre - on foot!

Upstairs, the spacious landing has access to the attic, and the layout of this floor is useful if you were thinking of extending up, as you wouldn't have to 'borrow' too much of the first floor to create a staircase. At the back, the quiet double bedroom is soothing and has open views which sweep over the city to a glimpse of protected downland. At the front, the principal bedroom is a welcoming refuge which stretches the full width of the building, and with elegant decoration and custom made wardrobes with organised storage it is ready to move into.

Vendor'S Comments: - "The house is bright and easy to live in and we wanted to balance style with home comforts, which we hope you will enjoy! The street is quiet but convenient with a friendly mix of people as this is a great area whether you're a couple, an older person or a family as it bridges Kemptown's beaches to the green of the Level and city centre. There are local shops, cafés and bistro bars to explore 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."
