2 bedroom terraced house for sale

The historic terraces of Hanover rise from the Level at the heart of the city to the playground, pond and tennis courts of Queen’s Park, and this charming two bedroom Victorian house is well positioned for both, along with two good primary schools and one outstanding within a 10 minute walk, and Brighton Station’s direct trains to Gatwick and London are just 7 minutes away by cab. Inside, the beautifully refurbished ground floor has an easy flow with a connected living and dining room which leads to the patio for al fresco entertaining, and a streamlined kitchen. Upstairs, the spacious bathroom has a designer finish and both bedrooms are quiet doubles – ideal for sharers. Hanover attracts professionals, families and investors as local schools include Brighton College, major employers are within easy reach (the Royal Sussex County Hospital is an 8 minute bike ride) and the beaches and glorious countryside of the National Park are easy to reach.

This attractive home with a cheerful east/west orientation has plenty of kerb appeal and inside is far bigger than it looks from the quiet street with high ceilings and large windows which ensure it is always light and airy.

Ahead, an inviting hallway has retained its period charm with painted brick walls and stripped staircase, and a cupboard is tucked away for coats and bags. Fashionable herringbone flooring is guest and pet friendly and continues through the broad opening into the living and dining room. The living room is connected to the dining room so spans the house from front to back to create an inviting space – and this sensitive refurbishment has kept the chimney breast if you wanted to install a feature fireplace. There is plenty of space to enjoy, and a broad door at the far end of the dining area opens to the patio which becomes another room of the house during summer.

At the back, the streamlined kitchen is a modern classic which will stand the test of time with stylish units providing ample storage, practical working surfaces and fashionable brass fittings. Integrated appliances include a gas hob and electric oven, and there is plumbing for a washing machine and designated area for a fridge.
Outside is perfect for everyday but also for parties as the patio is paved for ease of maintenance, and it is level with the house – a feature surprisingly hard to find in an area known for its hills. Child and pet secure with painted walls this sheltered sun trap faces east but is open to the south.

Returning inside, upstairs the luxury bathroom has a designer finish which includes a stately bathtub and high end fittings on both the tub and hand basin.

Guests or sharers will love the first of the spacious double bedrooms quietly tucked away at the back of the house, which is currently used as a comfortable home office. At the front of the house, stretching a full 4.5m x 2.9m (14’9 x 9’6) the principal bedroom is an oasis of calm with restful proportions, simple but stylish decoration and a big, part frosted window to bring in the sunshine whilst ensuring privacy.

what the owner says....

“The street is friendly with a mix of singles, couples and families as this a great spot bridging Kemptown’s beaches, Queen’s Park and the North Laine/city centre with ease; there is always something to do whatever you’re into 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.”
