Approached via wooden electric gates, to a large drive with double garage, Bourne House is a handsome period property dating back, we believe, to the early 1900’s with later additions.

With accommodation split over 3 floors, the property has a wealth of period features including high ceilings, picture rails, ornate fireplaces to a number of rooms and an original stain glass window in the entrance hall.

To the ground floor the property comprises; formal dining room with bay window, farmhouse-style kitchen/breakfast room with Aga and granite worktops, drawing room with ornate fireplace, double-aspect study, sitting room with bay window and access to the pool area, boot room with access to the garage, utility room and cloakroom.

The ground floor is further complemented by a guest suite comprising; double-aspect sitting room with access to the pool area, dressing room and bedroom with en-suite bathroom.

To the first floor there is the principal bedroom with ensuite shower room, 2 further double bedrooms with en-suites (one having access to the “Jack and Jill” family bathroom) and bedroom 3 with dressing room, all having stunning views over the garden, grounds and neighbouring land.

To the second floor is a further double bedroom with en-suite shower room and wardrobe. The south facing garden is laid mainly to lawn with a number of mature trees bordering the property.

The walled “Mediterranean-style” patio area with heated swimming pool and pool house creates the perfect space for outside entertaining.

Bourne House is located in a rural yet convenient location close to the village of Albourne. Nearby villages Henfield and Hurstpierpoint offer a good selection of local shops, cafes and restaurants.
