Yew Tree Farmhouse

A substantial and private Grade II listed country house with Georgian origins set in glorious elevated gardens and grounds benefiting from a range of outbuildings and having stunning southerly views over their established vineyard and neighbouring farmland



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.



Occupying an elevated position within the village of Albourne, Yew Tree Farmhouse boasts magnificent southerly views over its grounds and neighbouring farmland. With origins dating back to the 1830s, the large and spacious house has grown over the years with the most recent addition of a wonderful light garden room which enjoys magnificent views over the vineyard and towards the South Downs. Reception rooms include a sizeable drawing room and sitting room that sit either side of the entrance hall along with a study and office. Stairs lead to the first floor where there are two large bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom benefits from an ensuite bathroom with separate shower. Stairs lead to the second floor which has a further bedroom and bathroom. Accessed from the kitchen is a self contained annexe, currently configured as two bedrooms and a shower room. The annexe has a multitude of uses with its own independent access. Yew Tree Farmhouse is set in glorious private gardens and grounds of approximately 1.75 acres. Predominantly laid to lawn, the gardens enjoy splendid views in all directions. Together with the benefit of an orchard, fully fenced and covered heated outdoor pool surrounded by flower beds and lawn and an established vineyard, the gardens make for the perfect location to entertain or relax and enjoy the stunning views. There is also the benefit of an attached double garage and a grade II listed barn with a sizeable mezzanine floor, currently used as storage, which has huge scope for conversion (subject to gaining necessary consents)
