Lower Street, Haslemere, Surrey, GU27

A remarkable Grade II listed home steeped in history, nestled in the very centre of Haslemere. Dating back to the early 1600s, this is believed to be one of the town’s earliest freehold properties.

Rich in period charm, it retains many original features, including impressive Inglenook fireplaces, exposed oak beams, and beautifully preserved oak flooring. Further benefitting from rear access via footpath from Waitrose car park.

Thoughtfully redesigned in 2008, the property was cleverly reconfigured to externalise its staircases, creating a surprisingly spacious layout. Offering just under 2,000 sq ft of flexible living space, Anchor Cottage is ideally suited for a growing family seeking character, space, and convenience—all just moments from Haslemere’s mainline station, High Street shops, independent cafés, and excellent schools.

Step inside to a welcoming entrance hall that leads to a spacious, double-aspect living room—a warm and characterful space featuring a grand Inglenook fireplace and exposed beams. The well-appointed kitchen includes a Rangemaster cooker nestled in a bespoke alcove, generous dining space for six, and lovely views over the rear garden and surrounding landscape.

The lower level features two versatile reception rooms—ideal for a home office, playroom or snug—a stylish shower room, and a stable door offering direct access to the garden.
Upstairs, the charm continues with two generous double bedrooms featuring high ceilings, original wood floors, and striking oak beams. A beautifully designed family bathroom includes a Japanese-style deep soaking tub, combining luxury with tradition.

The top floor reveals two further double bedrooms, both with vaulted ceilings and period detailing, completing this deceptively spacious and wonderfully atmospheric home.

To the front, accessed via Lower Street, there is private off-street parking for one vehicle—a rare asset in this central location. Additional residents parking is available via permit.

The rear garden is a true sanctuary: generously sized and arranged over split levels, it offers a tranquil escape from town life. Currently home to chickens and a sunken trampoline, the space is both charming and functional. Whether you prefer the elevated decking for summer gatherings or the secluded patio for quiet moments, the garden provides multiple zones for relaxation and play.

Anchor Cottage is a rare blend of historic character, family-sized accommodation, and central convenience. Early viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate the unique charm and exceptional space this home has to offer.
