Tucked away on the peaceful cul-de-sac of Lincoln Cottages, in the heart of Hanover, this exceptional Victorian home captures everything that makes this vibrant Brighton community so enduringly popular. Quiet, neighbourly and rich in character, yet moments from the city’s energy, it is a setting as special as the house itself.

Since it was built in 1890 the house has passed through the hands of just three owners, the current custodians have undertaken a meticulous restoration and extension, creating a beautifully considered, turnkey home where period charm and contemporary living sit in perfect harmony.

The raised ground floor sets an immediate tone, with tall ceilings throughout. Painted floorboards lead you through a welcoming hallway, where to the left sits a wonderfully versatile fourth bedroom or second reception room. Bathed in southerly light from twin sash windows dressed with wood shutters, the room features bespoke shelving and a handsome working open fireplace, an inviting reading room or elegant guest space. Adjacent is a stylish guest WC and a generously proportioned family bathroom complete with underfloor heating, built-in utility cupboard and a large sash window that fills the room with natural light.

Descending to the lower ground floor reveals the true heart of the home: A stunning open-plan family space designed for modern living. Light flows from both front and rear, with views out to the laid-to-lawn garden, a green retreat that will soon burst into bloom. The former outside WC now provides practical garden storage, thoughtfully repurposed.

The kitchen has been beautifully curated, with an range cooker, including induction hobs, nestled within the original chimney breast, grey shaker-style cabinetry topped with warm wooden Walnut worktops, and a classic Belfast sink positioned beneath the window. Period integrity remains intact, while the open layout allows for relaxed family life. To the front, a cosy seating area gathers around a wood-burning stove, with ample space for a dining table, a natural setting for entertaining and everyday moments alike.

On the first floor, bedroom three is overlooking the gardens to the rear. Spanning the full width of the house at the front, the principal guest bedroom is particularly impressive having twin sash windows with shutters that frame leafy views across Lincoln Cottages, while a feature fireplace and built-in wardrobe add both charm and practicality.

The house culminates in the beautifully converted attic (completed in 2021). This serene principal suite enjoys cleverly integrated storage and Velux windows that draw in far-reaching rooftop views and the glow of sunset skies. A sleek shower room sits just off the landing, finished with underfloor heating, stylish tiling, a walk-in shower, basin and WC, creating a calm and contemporary sanctuary at the top of the house.

A rare opportunity to acquire a lovingly restored Hanover home offering volume, versatility and timeless character all set within one of Brighton’s most cherished neighbourhoods
