1 bed flat for sale

Hindhead, Surrey GU26

Flexible accommodation within a one bedroom maisonette, set within the grounds of a former country home of the edge of National Trust land.

A sweeping driveway through mature trees and rhododendrons is a fantastic way to be welcomed into Heatherbank; an impressive Grade II Listed Building (built in 1900 and once lived in by Marie Stopes, the celebrated palaeo-botanist), which has been converted into apartments whilst still retaining a number of original features, and lots of charm.

Tucked away at the rear of the building, this charming annex enjoys exceptional privacy. The apartment is part of an extension to the main house in 1988 and has its own entrance away from the main building, shared with just one other flat. Surrounded by mature trees and lush gardens, the views from each window are simply stunning. Additionally, full of character and quirky features, this is the perfect space for those seeking a peaceful and unique retreat!

A large parking area is positioned centrally within the driveway/ approach to the house, and there is additional parking close to the annex.

The accommodation is formally arranged as a double aspect open plan kitchen/lounge, double aspect bedroom with built in wardrobe and a modern and contemporary shower room. There are wooden loft stairs from the kitchen area up to a loft room providing excellent additional space. The current owner has arranged their accommodation more flexibly to make full use of the loft area.

Spacious rear and side communal gardens, which wrap around the whole building, are mainly laid to lawn with mature planting and screening. A footpath from within the grounds offers direct access to The Golden Valley woodland. The Devil’s Punchbowl and local shops are also within walking distance. Easy access to the A3, with Grayshott and Haslemere shops and facilities being within a short drive.

Ideal for the 1st time buyer, a downsizer or someone looking for a lock up and leave.

Hindhead benefits from many acres of protected countryside; The Devil’s Punchbowl (being one) is a designated area of outstanding natural beauty.
