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 £450,000, this three-bedroom terraced house has been thoughtfully extended and tastefully updated, offering the perfect blend of contemporary living and 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.
