Hindhead Road, Hindhead, Surrey

A beautifully presented two bedroom apartment occupying the first floor of Exchange House, a striking former Telegraph Office and Exchange believed to date from the late nineteenth century.

The apartment is approached via an external staircase, where the current owners have thoughtfully transformed the entrance area with colourful planting and outdoor furniture. What might otherwise have been a purely functional space now provides a particularly welcoming arrival and an attractive place to sit outside during the warmer months.

Inside, the impressive open plan kitchen, dining and sitting room is defined by its exceptional ceiling height and tall arched windows. With windows to more than one aspect, the room enjoys excellent natural light and leafy views, while the generous proportions allow clearly defined areas for relaxing, dining and entertaining.

The kitchen is arranged with a range of white fitted units, contrasting worktops and metro tiled splashbacks, together with a fitted oven, hob and extractor. A substantial timber topped breakfast bar provides seating for up to four and creates a natural divide between the kitchen and sitting area without compromising the open feel of the room.

The principal bedroom is a well proportioned double, again featuring a tall arched window and space for additional freestanding furniture. The second bedroom is currently arranged as a combined home office and dressing room, with a full wall of wardrobes and space for two desks. This demonstrates the versatility of the room, which could equally serve as a guest bedroom, nursery or dedicated workspace.

The bathroom continues the character of the apartment with another impressive arched window. It is fitted with a white suite comprising a panelled bath with shower above and glazed screen, pedestal wash basin and WC, complemented by neutral wall and floor tiling.

The property also benefits from an allocated parking space to the rear of the building.

One of the apartment’s greatest lifestyle features is its exceptional proximity to the Devil’s Punch Bowl and Hindhead Commons. This celebrated National Trust landscape is just moments away, providing an extensive network of walking routes through open heathland and woodland, together with far reaching viewpoints across the Surrey Hills and a popular café. Whether enjoyed for a morning walk, an afternoon outdoors or a longer weekend route, this remarkable countryside effectively sits on the doorstep.

Everyday amenities are also readily accessible within Hindhead, while nearby Haslemere offers a broader selection of shops, restaurants and a mainline station with direct services to London Waterloo. The A3 provides convenient road connections towards Guildford, London and the south coast.
