A charming detached cottage with private enclosed garden located in the outskirts of village of Albourne, close to lovely pubs and restaurants and just outside the South Downs National Park. The cottage is in the grounds of the owners’ home with farmland, footpaths and bridleways all around making it an ideal base for walking, cycling or exploring all the delights of Sussex or for just saying hello to an alpaca or watching some amazing sunsets. The property itself is single-storey, spacious and open plan.

Originally Blossom’s Cottage was an agricultural building housing machinery and goats and pigs. Blossom, a British alpine goat was the first animal resident over 30 years ago. Other goats followed and then rare breed pigs. Now in the field next door there are some rare-breed Hebridean sheep including Primrose and Mary, Kitty the goat, Vic and Bob the pygmy goats and two Zwartbles sheep Alan and Malcolm.
