Southampton Street, Brighton

This is an exciting opportunity to buy one of Hanover’s sought-after terraced Victorian houses in a quiet street which is nevertheless on the doorstep of all the hustle and bustle of a busy community and a short distance from central Brighton. The front door of this three storey house opens on to the entrance hallway on the raised ground floor, which has been newly carpeted. Two good-sized bedrooms, a bathroom and separate W.C. are on this floor with access from the hallway to the courtyard garden which has flint walls, and has been landscaped with flower borders and a raised bed. At the back of the garden is a really beautiful bay tree of some age. On the first floor you will find the master bedroom to the front of the property with stripped wooden floors and a built-in cupboard. A further double bedroom to the rear also has stripped wooden floors and a window overlooking the garden. The highlight of this lovely house is the spacious open plan living/kitchen/dining area which occupies the whole of the lower ground floor. This space has a contemporary feel and accommodates a cream shaker-style kitchen with a lovely unusual enamel sink. There is space for a large six burner gas range and space and plumbing for a washing machine. The property also benefits from UPVC double glazing in excellent condition.

Hanover is an extremely popular area of bright and colourful Victorian houses close to the city centre and within walking distance of Brighton Station. Often considered to be one of Brighton’s bohemian strongholds, it has an active artistic community and a lively atmosphere, with more than its fair share of excellent pubs where you can find good company, great food and live music. Families are attracted here by good local schools and the green spaces of Queen’s Park, which has a playground and a café, and also The Level which has a playground and a fantastic skate park.
