now offers buyers the opportunity to modernise, all within walking distance of village amenities. Offered with no onward chain.

Situated at the end of a long shared driveway serving just two properties, this detached bungalow enjoys an exceptionally private position within one of Hindhead’s most established residential locations. Offered to the market with no onward chain, the property presents an excellent opportunity for a new owner to modernise and create a home tailored to their own tastes, having been a well-loved family home for over 20 years a key reflection of its generous accommodation, secluded garden, detached double garage and driveway parking.

The central entrance hall provides access to all principal rooms. The spacious sitting room enjoys a pleasant outlook over the rear garden and is centred around a gas fireplace, creating an excellent reception room for everyday living.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of drawer and cupboard storage with ample work surface space and room for various white goods. A useful lean-to conservatory provides additional storage and practical access to the garden.

A 2nd reception room provides either a dining room, family room or study, with access into a conservatory overlooking the rear garden, benefitting from doors opening directly onto the patio.

There are three good sized bedrooms (the principle bedroom benefitting from extensive built in storage), all served by a recently refitted contemporary wet room, whilst a separate cloakroom adds further convenience.

Although requiring updating throughout, the property has been well cared for and offers enormous potential for enlargement or reconfiguration, subject to the necessary consents, allowing buyers to create a superb long-term home in this highly sought-after location.

Outside, the property continues to impress. The rear garden is a particularly attractive feature, enjoying an excellent degree of privacy with mature trees and established planting creating a wonderfully secluded backdrop to a generous lawn with a patio adjoining the conservatory.

Wood Road has long been regarded as one of Hindhead’s most established residential roads, once lined with large imposing houses and today offering an attractive blend of substantial period homes and modern detached residences. Nearby is Grovers Gardens, an open green space gifted by the trustees of the late John Grover in 1934 to be maintained as a place of rest and enjoyment for the residents of Hindhead, providing a peaceful retreat just moments from the property.

Hindhead is a historic village positioned between the larger towns of Farnham and Haslemere, both offering excellent shopping facilities and mainline railway stations with services to London Waterloo.

The village is surrounded by many acres of protected National Trust countryside, including the spectacular Devil’s Punchbowl, designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and offering exceptional walking and cycling routes. A selection of everyday amenities can be found close by in Beacon Hill, including convenience shopping, cafes and the local primary school. The area is also renowned for its excellent choice of both state and independent schools. Leisure opportunities abound, with several highly regarded golf courses nearby, including Hindhead Golf Club, founded in 1904 by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, together with racing at Goodwood and Fontwell, polo at Cowdray Park and sailing at Frensham Ponds and Chichester Harbour.
