Why you’ll like it:
Hanover is celebrated for its close-knit community, vibrant painted terraces, and easy access to the city’s beaches, parks, and cultural life. This property makes the most of its south-westerly aspect, meaning you’ll enjoy long hours of natural light and some spectacular sunsets from the upper floors.

Inside, the lower ground floor is dedicated to a spacious kitchen/living room—an ideal space for entertaining, with modern fittings and generous worktops.

On the ground and first floors, three double bedrooms offer flexibility for family life, home-working, or guests. The second floor loft conversion is a real showstopper, with exposed brickwork, rich wooden flooring, skylights, and French doors opening to a balcony with sweeping views across the city to the sea.

The bathroom is placed on the first floor and designed with a clean, contemporary feel, featuring a freestanding bath and separate shower. Throughout, original character is balanced with modern updates, from period-style iron bed frames to energy-efficient double glazing and the eco-benefits of solar panels.

Agent says:
“Four bedrooms in Hanover are rare, and the loft suite here is a fantastic addition. Add in solar panels, the end-of-terrace light, and the proximity to both Kemptown and the North Laine, and you have a home that ticks a lot of wish-list boxes.”

Owner’s secret:
“The loft room is our favourite place—it’s peaceful, full of light, and the views are amazing. In the evenings, we often sit by the Juliet balcony and watch the sun go down over Brighton. Being end-of-terrace, the light and privacy are excellent, and the location means we hardly ever use the car—everything is walkable.”
