1 bedroom flat for sale

Attractive and characterful ground floor apartment within a former country house on a historically prominent road with surrounding communal gardens. Close to National Trust land and well positioned for the A3.

A sweeping driveway through mature trees and rhododendrons is a fantastic way to be welcomed into this 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. A large parking area is positioned centrally within this driveway.

The main approach to the house is a grand entrance hall with stairs to upper and lower levels, although this apartment is situated on the ground floor.

A private front door opens into the entrance hall with storage cupboards. Beyond this is a light and spacious living room with large windows and wood flooring which extends into the open plan kitchen. This is fitted with a good range of white drawers and cupboards incorporating an integrated oven and hob with space and plumbing for further white goods, plus a generous amount of work surfaces.

The accommodation is completed by a double bedroom and bathroom.

Within Heatherbank there is a large communal laundry room with washing machine and sink, plus space for drying.

Balance of a 125 year lease issued in 2017; 118 years remaining.
Ground rent: £250 per annum
Service charge: £1,200 per annum plus £100 (Roof Fund) and £80 (Gas) per month.

Spacious rear and side communal gardens, which wrap around the whole building, these 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.

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. Other sporting facilities include racing at Goodwood and Fontwell, polo at Cowdray Park, and sailing on Frensham Ponds and from Chichester Harbour.
