Heatherbank sits well back from the road, enjoying a commanding position on a historically important road, that is home to a mixture of property styles and ages. Hindhead is a small historic village, with a cluster of shops and cafe's, situated between the larger towns of Farnham and Haslemere, both of which offer good high street shopping and main line rail connections to London. Access to the A3 is easy, with motorway style connections to London, the South Coast and both principal airports. Hindhead benefits from many acres of protected countryside; The Devil’s Punchbowl (being one) is a designated area of outstanding natural beauty. A small selection of shops and services, including the local primary school can be found within walking distance in Beacon Hill. Additionally there are a large number of private schools and preschools. Close by, there are several Golf Courses, including Hindhead Golf Course which was founded in 1904 by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
