Tucked away in a peaceful, secluded setting in the charming Sussex village of Albourne, The Chase is a beautifully extended Georgian detached home, set within approximately half an acre of gated, landscaped gardens. This elegant period property dates back to the 1820s, with thoughtful extensions added in the 1930s, offering a wonderful combination of character and versatile, spacious living.

Albourne itself is a picturesque village surrounded by stunning countryside, perfect for walking and outdoor pursuits. It has a local primary school and historic church, while the nearby village of Hurstpierpoint—just a short walk away—offers a vibrant High Street with independent shops. Hassocks is a short drive and provides mainline rail connections to Brighton and London, making this a highly desirable location for families and commuters alike. The area is also well served by an excellent selection of state and private schools.

As you approach the property, a large gated driveway leads to the front of the house, providing ample parking as well as access to both the main house and the separate annexe.

On entering the home, you’re welcomed into a generous porch area. To the right is a spacious boot room, a cloakroom/WC, a handy storage area, and a well-equipped utility room. The heart of the home is the kitchen/breakfast room, featuring extensive worktop space, integrated appliances, and a standout spiral staircase adding a touch of character and charm.

The kitchen flows into three generous reception rooms, two of which offer beautiful views across the rear garden. A fourth reception room enjoys dual-aspect views to both the front and back of the property, with direct access to the garden and a second staircase to the upper floor.

Upstairs, you’ll find four large double bedrooms. The master bedroom and a second bedroom (currently used as a dressing room) share a large south-facing balcony with stunning views over the garden. The first floor also includes a luxurious Clive Christian-designed bathroom, a modern shower room, and a further family bathroom with a bath and walk-in shower.

The self-contained annexe sits adjacent to the main house and includes a kitchen and shower room on the ground floor. Upstairs, there’s a double bedroom and a large storage or additional living space. The annexe also benefits from two 1.5 garages.

The south-facing garden is truly a standout feature — beautifully landscaped and offering complete privacy, bordered by mature shrubs and hedging. A generous rear terrace is perfect for al fresco dining, while additional terraced spaces surround a central lawn and an ornamental fish pond. There is also a detached studio with lighting and electricity, ideal for use as a home office or creative space, along with multiple garden stores.

This unique home is ideal for families seeking charm, space, and tranquillity — all within easy reach of local amenities, schooling, and commuter links.
