Beacon Crescent, Hindhead, GU26

Our Haslemere office is centrally located in the High Street and responsible for sales and lettings of properties across Haslemere and its neighbouring villages, all of which sit in the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Haslemere became a popular location in the late 19th and early 20th century when people started building substantial detached family homes here to take advantage of the easy access to London. Today there are more than 100 listed buildings in Haslemere alone, making this a commuter town with a strong sense of community and history. The Haslemere team know this delightful area very well and have helped many local residents to buy or sell, let or rent their rural, semi-rural and town-centre properties over the years, with the 'simply different' level of personal service that you only get from Henry Adams.

Haslemere is considered a commuter town because it's so easy to get to London from here - just 49 minutes by train to London Waterloo, or a quick journey by car along the A3. But putting the benefits of a fast getaway aside, there are many more reasons why you would want to settle here and never leave, including excellent schools, superb recreational facilities and of course the great outdoors all around you.

As far as properties go there is an excellent choice of housing in Haslemere, from detached family homes with generous gardens to attractive apartments offering views over the beautiful English countryside.
