If you are looking for a family home nestled in a historic setting, Barn Close in the pretty downland village of Albourne offers a wonderful opportunity.  


Offered at ÂŁ435,000, this three-bedroom terraced house has been thoughtfully extended and tastefully updated, blending contemporary living with village charm.

The property benefits from premium 'Karndean' flooring across the ground floor and sits in a peaceful, family-friendly position.  


Elegantly Appointed & Cozy Interiors

Spanning a total gross internal area of approximately 1,032 sq ft, every room in this house has been thoroughly and beautifully refined.  



The Living Spaces:


The Living Room: A spacious, south-facing reception room that looks out over the rear garden. It features a power point for a wall-mounted TV, practical under-stairs storage, and ceiling downlights on a dimmer switch. Wide double-glazed sliding patio doors create a seamless connection directly out to the garden.  


The Modern Kitchen / Breakfast Room: Professionally fitted with modern slate-grey cabinetry by 'Wren', this space features a part-vaulted ceiling with a 'Velux' skylight and a handy built-in breakfast bar. High-end integrated appliances include two 'Neff' ovens with 'Slide & Hide' doors, a 'Bosch' five-burner gas hob with an extractor chimney, and dedicated spaces for an American-style fridge freezer and a washing machine.  


The Dining Room & Study Recess: Offering a dramatic part-vaulted ceiling with two additional skylights, this bright dining area radiator includes timber bifold doors that cleverly conceal a custom home office space complete with a fitted desk and overhead downlights.  


The Cloakroom: Conveniently located off the ground floor layout, this white suite comprises a modern vanity wash basin, toilet, extractor fan, and built-in coat rack.  


  • The Bedrooms & Bathroom:

The Bedrooms: The first floor landing leads to three well-proportioned, beautifully finished bedrooms. Bedroom One enjoys a front aspect with custom dimming lights, while Bedroom Two and Bedroom Three both look over the peaceful rear grounds—each fitted with neat Venetian blinds.  


The Refitted Bathroom: Re-imagined with high-end fixtures, this contemporary white suite features a panelled bath with wall-mounted controls, an illuminated mirror, a vanity wash basin, and a separate, generous fully tiled shower enclosure boasting both flexible and overhead rain shower heads.  



Garden & Flexible Parking

  • The outdoor spaces are a massive highlight of this village home:


The Beautifully Presented Rear Garden: A standout feature of the property, this garden offers a full-width paved patio complete with a unique herb wall, external power points, a water tap, and an outdoor light. Passing through a central pergola, you'll find a lush lawn bordered by well-stocked raised beds, a secondary patio, a timber storage shed, and secure rear gate access.  


The Driveway: The front of the property is laid with a generous block-paved driveway that comfortably provides off-street parking for two to three vehicles.  


Added Tech & Permissions: For total peace of mind, the home is equipped with a Reolink video doorbell, a digital camera system, and CCTV covering both the front and rear aspects. Additionally, permanent planning consent has been granted (DM/22/1324) for a rear extension forming part of work already completed, meaning it carries no expiration time limit.  



An Idyllic Conservation Area Location


Barn Close is situated within a peaceful cul-de-sac just off 'The Street' in Albourne, giving you nearby access to stunning countryside walks and scenic pathways leading toward the South Downs National Park.  

  • While enjoying a peaceful, semi-rural vibe, you are highly connected to village life and regional hubs:


Albourne Village Amenities: The property is just a short, safe walk to the popular Albourne CEP Primary School, the local village hall, and the Albourne Recreation Ground which sits just meters from your front door.  


Hurstpierpoint Centre: Located only 1.6 miles away, giving you rapid access to a neighboring village hub complete with a Co-op supermarket, a health centre, and various independent boutique eateries.
