Flexible Accommodation Within a One-Bedroom Maisonette, Set within the Grounds of a Former Country Home, on the Edge of National Trust Land

A sweeping driveway lined with mature trees and rhododendrons welcomes you to Heatherbank, a converted former country home originally built around 1900 and famously lived in by Marie Stopes, the celebrated palaeo-botanist. Today, the main house has been tastefully divided into apartments, preserving its historic character and charm.

Tucked away at the rear of the main house, this one-bedroom maisonette sits within a purpose-built extension constructed in the 1980s. With its own private entrance, shared with just one other flat, it feels wonderfully peaceful and secluded. Mature trees, lush communal gardens and stunning views from every window create a unique retreat that combines period atmosphere with practical modern living.

Inside, the accommodation is arranged with a double-aspect, open-plan kitchen and lounge, a double-aspect room currently used as a cosy TV snug (originally the bedroom, with a built-in wardrobe), and a modern, contemporary shower room. From the kitchen area, wooden loft stairs lead up to a versatile loft room, providing excellent additional space, giving the layout a wonderfully adaptable feel. Additionally, a study area under the Velux window is perfect for working or reading while enjoying views of beautiful mature trees.

Outside, generous communal gardens wrap around the whole building, mainly laid to lawn with mature planting for privacy and seasonal colour. There is a central parking area along the sweeping driveway, plus additional parking near the annexe for convenience. A private footpath from within the grounds gives direct access to The Golden Valley woodland, while The Devil’s Punchbowl and local shops are also within walking distance.

This charming home is ideal for a first-time buyer, someone looking to downsize, or anyone seeking a peaceful lock-up-and-leave escape with excellent transport links. The A3 is easily accessible, and nearby Grayshott and Haslemere offer further shopping, amenities and mainline rail connections to London.
A flexible, characterful hideaway, perfect for peaceful living on the edge of beautiful countryside.
