1 bed flat for sale

Hindhead, Surrey GU26

A unique and flexible one-bedroom maisonette with an additional loft room, set within beautiful grounds on the edge of National Trust land.

Tucked away in a peaceful position, the property offers a rare combination of character, privacy and adaptable living.

A sweeping driveway lined with mature trees and rhododendrons welcomes you to Heatherbank, an impressive Grade II former country house, originally built around 1900 and famously lived in by Marie Stopes, the celebrated paleobotanist. Today, the building has been tastefully divided into apartments, preserving its historic character and charm.

The maisonette benefits from its own private entrance, shared with just one other flat, and a versatile layout. Surrounded by mature trees and well-maintained communal gardens, it enjoys a quiet, secluded feel with attractive views from every window.

The accommodation comprises a bright, double-aspect open-plan kitchen and living area, a separate double-aspect room currently arranged as a cosy TV snug (originally the bedroom, with a built-in wardrobe), and a modern shower room.

A key feature of the property is the additional loft room, accessed via wooden loft stairs from the kitchen, providing valuable extra space. The current owner uses this as a sleeping area, with a study space under the Velux window, ideal for working or reading while enjoying views of beautiful mature trees. This flexible layout can be adapted to suit a variety of needs, whether as a one-bedroom home with additional workspace or for those seeking extra storage.

Outside, generous communal gardens wrap around the building, mainly laid to lawn with mature planting for privacy and seasonal colour. A private footpath from within the grounds gives direct access to The Golden Valley woodland, while The Devil’s Punchbowl and local shops in Beacon Hill, Hindhead and Grayshott are within walking distance. Ample parking is available within the grounds, including additional spaces close to the property entrance.

This charming home is ideal for a first-time buyer, downsizer, or anyone seeking a peaceful lock-up-and-leave escape with excellent transport links. Less than a mile from the A3 for convenient road access, with nearby Haslemere providing mainline rail connections to London.

A flexible, characterful hideaway, perfect for peaceful living on the edge of beautiful countryside.
