The Neighborhood:
This beautiful home is located in central Brighton!

The houses on the Crescent were built in the Regency period at the time when people began to speculate that the development of Brighton's famous Royal Pavilion would make it a desirable place to live and attract wealthy buyers from London. The grand façades were designed by local architects Wilds and Busby who were responsible for many of the best examples of Regency architecture around Brighton, including many of the houses on Marine Parade, Regency Square and St George’s Place.

Enjoy the shared communal garden opposite the house!

Hanover Crescent is situated opposite The Level, a popular green space with a large collection of beautiful elm trees. The Level has a number of cafes, along with a children’s play area, skate park and table tennis facilities. There are many nearby shops including supermarkets on Lewes Road, which offers an eclectic mix of cafes, restaurants and other independent businesses.

The adjacent 'trendy' Hanover area has an array of family friendly pubs, many of which serve excellent food including Sunday roasts and regular live music.

The prestigious North Laines and The Brighton Pavilion are a mere fifteen to twenty minute walk away.

Many excellent bars, restaurants and independent shops are within 5 to 10 minutes' walk.

Brighton, known as “London by the Sea,” is a dynamic coastal city famed for its eclectic charm and cultural richness. The Brighton Palace Pier is an emblem of the city, featuring traditional rides, game arcades, and food stalls that attract visitors year-round. Along the seafront, Brighton Beach and its colourful beach huts create an inviting atmosphere for beachgoers, who can enjoy the sea breeze and local delicacies like fish and chips.

One of Brighton’s most striking landmarks is the Royal Pavilion, with its extraordinary Indo-Saracenic architecture and lavish interiors, highlighting the city’s unique historical ties to royalty. Nearby, the Pavilion Gardens offer a serene place to relax amid the lively city.

For shopping enthusiasts, the North Laine is a must-visit, brimming with quirky boutiques, vintage stores, and independent art galleries, while The Lanes, with their narrow alleyways, charm visitors with jewelers, antiques, and cozy eateries.

Driving to Brighton is straightforward, with the A23 linking it directly to London and the M25, while the A27 connects Brighton with towns along the south coast. However, parking in Brighton can be limited, especially in the city centre.
