Talented forward Burstow, 18, has made 14 appearances for Charlton since scoring with his first touch in professional football on his debut in the EFL Trophy in August.
The Blues scouts have been keeping a close eye on the talented lad for a number of those performances, and after making an excellent bid to Charlton, they have officially confirmed the deal on the club website.
As part of his move to Stamford Bridge, Burstow will return to Charlton on loan for the rest of the season before linking up with Chelsea in the summer.
Addicks boss Jackson told CharltonTV: ‘He is someone that we love here. I’m really fond of him and love his attitude, it has been great to see him develop.
‘We’re enjoying helping him develop and giving him the opportunities he’s had so far. It is great the club has got a deal the chairman is happy with and that we are getting him back on loan.’
Charlton owner Thomas Sandgaard added: ‘We’ve had a lot of interest in Mason but we only were going to let him go if it was an excellent deal for the club.
‘Chelsea have matched our valuation and, as part of the deal, he will come back to us on loan which was important for us.’
