4 Built to impress in 1822, Hanover Crescent remains one of Brighton's most sought after addresses. At the premier, southern end of the garden crescent, this refined home is the centre piece of a group of three and, privately set back behind a front garden, the facade is quintessentially Georgian with Corinthian pilasters, a decorated pediment and delicately wrought balconies at the front, whilst the back garden is angled to catch the sun all day. A traditional tiled path is an introduction to the high standard of the restoration work done to return this home to its former glory and broad steps lead to the smart front door with a fan light which opens into an inviting, hushed hallway with a restrained white and grey colour scheme.

5 the reception room Double glass doors sweep you into a stunning reception where the south walls of the two buildings are all glass, each with broad central doors which slide open to bring the spacious roof terrace into the room. Sun and sea stream through this fabulous space which is ideal for sophisticated entertaining. The expert interior design has included central doors between the buildings so you can create a more intimate atmosphere as well as a private living room and bedroom suite for guests, who can come and go at will as there is a second staircase from the living room to the communal hallways and staircase of the adjoining mansion. The glamorous roof terrace has plenty of space for al fresco dining in real style with unrivalled views of the Sussex coast from the white cliffs of Seaford Head in the east, sweeping over the safe harbour of the Marina and on, over the glittering pier and i360 to the distant bay of Worthing to the west, so you can watch the sun rise or set with friends.

6 The entrance landing has a stylish guest cloakroom tucked away by the reception and at the far end is the contemporary kitchen. Bright and cheerful, there s a sky light overhead and windows in two walls, so you can enjoy the afternoon and evening sunshine as well as the eclectic architecture of Kemp Town as you cook. With a classic black and white palette, glossy white units conceal sophisticated storage and are topped by gleaming black granite. Beautifully designed, the Neff touch induction hob is integrated beneath an extractor and the grill and oven are in a tower to prevent heavy lifting. The fridge, freezer and wine fridge are integrated for you as are the dishwasher and washing machine, and such is the attention to detail that there is a Franke hose tap above the black Franke sinks, one of which has a waste disposal installed, there are two levels of lighting and discreet, opaque glass units behind the door to provide even more storage.

10 Private and peaceful, the welcoming master bedroom has restful proportions and relaxing views over gardens and striking mews houses below, so it s not over looked. Painted a sunny yellow with thick carpet underfoot, this comfortable room has a wall of wardrobes and a chic shower room, decorated in shades of grey with a super, large shower, a heated rail for your towels and a vanity unit for your soaps and potions beneath the white hand basin. At the back of the building, the quiet guest room is a generous double with fascinating open views through the two broad sash windows in the far wall, also making it very private of course. The fitted wardrobes, like the high walls, are painted a soft apricot and the stylish en suite shower room will impress as it s lined in black stone, with a jet head shower, lit mirror and a shaving point. With ample, floor to ceiling cupboards and plenty of space to play with you have all the storage space you could wish for and this room, which has a sky light above you, has also been used as an unofficial but tranquil office.

Owner s secret: It has been a pleasure to enjoy the grace of these historical buildings. We have had some fabulous parties and there s no finer place to be than on the roof terrace, planning them together and watching the sea.
