3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Truslers Hill Lane, Albourne BN6

A country cottage showcasing character throughout with a versatile layout, far reaching views and a wonderfully private garden

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.

This charming three bedroom period cottage occupies a delightful rural setting with far reaching views across neighbouring fields and the surrounding countryside. Arranged over three floors, the accommodation combines appealing character features with a versatile layout offering a home with warmth, individuality and a strong connection to its surroundings. The ground floor centres around two reception rooms, beginning with a characterful sitting room where a wood burning stove provides a natural focal point. A separate snug, accessed from the kitchen offers a more informal space for relaxing, working from home or simply enjoying a quieter corner of the house. The ground floor bathroom is a particularly attractive feature, fitted with a freestanding roll top bath that complements the cottage's period character. Positioned at the rear, the kitchen opens onto the west facing garden, creating a natural connection between the house and its outdoor space. The three bedrooms are arranged across the first and second floors, with the top floor bedroom being particularly spacious. Exposed beams and Velux windows enhance its character, with views across the surrounding countryside. A separate shower room assists in serving the bedrooms. Outside, the rear garden enjoys a good degree of privacy with mature trees and established planting framing the lawn and creating a natural outlook towards the countryside beyond. Its informal character brings seasonal colour and dappled shade giving the garden a sense of seclusion while retaining a pleasing connection with the wider landscape. To the front, a shingle driveway provides off road parking for two vehicles.
