Guide Price £650,000
Albourne is a quaint village with a local village school and church, surrounded by beautiful farmland providing an excellent backdrop for walking and other recreational activities. The larger village of Hurstpierpoint is within walking distance and, with its bustling High Street, provides a comprehensive array of shopping, including a post office, butcher and delicatessen. Hassocks, with its mainline rail station providing easy links to Brighton and London, is the next village along. The area plays host to a number of highly regarded state and private schools.
Situated along a peaceful country lane in a sought after semi-rural setting, this beautifully extended semi detached home occupies an elevated position commanding far reaching views across open farmland towards the South Downs. The property has been thoughtfully enhanced and meticulously maintained with its design carefully oriented to maximise natural light and fully embrace its exceptional outlook. The ground floor offers a balanced and inviting arrangement of living space, comprising a charming sitting room with a focal open fireplace along with a kitchen/breakfast room. Both spaces flow seamlessly into a stunning garden room where expansive glazing frames the south facing garden and uninterrupted countryside views beyond. A separate utility room provides practical space for appliances complemented by a discreet cloakroom. Upstairs, two generous double bedrooms are served by a stylishly appointed bathroom complete with a separate shower enclosure. The gardens are a particular feature of the home having been beautifully landscaped to mirror the quality of the interior while making the most of the enviable setting. A pergola covered terrace adjoins the rear of the house offering an idyllic space for outdoor dining and relaxation overlooking manicured lawns and richly planted colourful borders. To the far end of the garden and benefiting from its own vehicular access is a garden studio with attached garage, offering excellent versatility for use as a home office along with two timber stores. To the front, a private driveway provides ample off street parking.
