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 in a private spot with wonderful southerly views toward the South Downs, ‘The Chase’ with origins dating back to 1820’s has grown over time creating a sizable period house with an annexe, sitting in wonderfully private grounds of approximately half an acre.

The wonderfully private gardens extend to the south and are presided over by a sizable terrace adjoining the rear of the property covered by seating areas within the terrace making for a perfect area to relax or entertain.
