An impressive 5 -bedroom, 3 -bathroom family house with historic proportions, large light cellar and a stylish kitchen dining room that flows out to a private walled courtyard garden, separate formal reception room, and contemporary bathrooms. All the generous double bedrooms have space for home working, hobbies, or study - and none share a wall. This property is a spacious family home that also has current HMO licence. Opposite is the leafy Level urban park which is perfect for relaxing outside, playing sports or attending many different events and exhibitions with friends. It is in an exclusive location within a 4 -minute walk of the legendary cafes, arts venues and restaurants of the North Laine and a scenic stroll through fountained gardens to the sea. Ideal for local professionals, commuters and investors. With art colleges, Brighton and Sussex Universities, Medical Schools, hospitals, and Amex are all within a 20 -minute radius by bus (every 5 minutes) or 10 by car. The station serving Falmer, Lewes (which hosts the Police HQ and Council offices), Gatwick and London is a 10 minute walk and access into and out of the city via the Lewes or London Road is swift and direct.

In fashionable Hanover, large family properties and HMO licenced homes in this popular area do not appear on the market often - and this one is good to go. A beautiful, Victorian end of terrace Villa with a front courtyard is set back from the road with a grand entrance and inside ceilings soar, with a cloakroom tucked away and a discreet staircase to the cellar, which is large and light and perfect for a study/media area or a 6th bedroom.

At the front of the house, the formal reception is large enough to share in comfort, and across the hallway the kitchen diner impresses with room for sofas, a vaulted skylight above the dining area and double -glazed French doors which lead to the paved walled garden. Tucked away from the social flow behind a peninsular island which doubles as a breakfast bar, the high -end kitchen is a great social space with practical work surfaces and a fabulous, Flavel multi fuel range. There is an integrated dishwasher, designated space for a large fridge freezer and a separate utility/boiler room.

Upstairs this house spreads its wings with a quiet bedroom looking over the garden at the back. At the front, a large bedroom opens to a Juliette balcony and views over the Level and has a contemporary ensuite shower room with a dual head system. Hidden away, the third double bedroom is light, inviting, and private and by it a luxury bathroom has natural light, a shower over the shaped bath, a shaving/toothbrush point and warming rail for towels. On the top floor are two more light and airy double rooms – they are not overlooked - and between them a shower room has a chic finish.

Agent says:
“This rare find has a 5 bedroom HMO in place with figures available upon request. This exclusive area will appeal to both students and young professionals within a stroll of the Open Market and fashionable North Laine and well- connected to Brighton’s city centre, Lewes and Gatwick. With plenty of space including the huge kitchen diner, as well as the cellar and big formal reception, this house offers flexible options, STC.”

Owner’s secret:
“All of the rooms are big and bright with plenty of choice for you to pick a space in which to work or study, and the Victorian walled garden is a sociable retreat. We chose Hanover House in Brighton because of its proximity to the beaches, country walks, green parks, mainline station, schools and Universities and full enjoyment of the buoyant Brighton lifestyle are easy to get to from here.”
