Detached house for sale in Church Lane, Albourne, Hassocks, West Sussex BN6

The Old Rectory is a stunning former rectory to the parish of Albourne which has been sympathetically and beautifully extended and restored by the owners. The property has undergone a complete transformation by our clients which includes the fabulous new extension creating another sitting room, guest bedroom suite and gym. Finished in dark Crittall windows, the extension combines farmhouse chic with the elegant Georgian facade creating a modern stylish feel which works in tandem with the older period features of the original house. Internally the house has been decorated and finished to exacting standards throughout. Authentic and traditional colours have been used in the more formal rooms whilst modern colours have been used in the pantry, family room and sitting room. The house can be used as a seven bedroom house with two built in sleeping beds or divided and a separate annexe formed with its own entrance.

The Old Rectory sits close to the foot of the South Downs and enjoys views in all directions over its own land, farmland and the South Down beyond. Albourne Vineyard is only a short walk from the property.

The property benefits from a beautiful historic south facing walled garden where an abundance of flowers, trees and shrubs are grown. A small, sheltered area with hot tub is accompanied by the outside veranda off the drawing room, also finished with external Crittall windows. Outside the walled garden is a large flat lawned area with a wildflower field adjoined. Views are apparent from all aspects of the property over the gardens, fields, farmland, and the South Downs in the background.
