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.
