Crossways Road, Hindhead, GU26

This is so much more than a maisonette. Four bedrooms. Two bathrooms. Two parking spaces. Two balconies. And the centre of Grayshott just moments from your front door. Occupying the first floor and with its own private entrance at ground level, this is a remarkably spacious home offering four genuine double bedrooms, generous living space and a location which puts virtually everything Grayshott has to offer within walking distance. For anyone wanting the proportions of a family home without necessarily wanting the garden maintenance and upkeep that often comes with one, it makes a compelling alternative. Step inside and a private staircase, leads to accommodation that is surprisingly extensive. The kitchen has been comprehensively fitted with contemporary cabinetry and an impressive collection of integrated appliances. Bosch appliances include a double oven/microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, extractor and washing machine, complemented by a Smeg induction hob. It is a kitchen designed to be used rather than simply admired, with plenty of storage and preparation space. Along the hallway, the separate dining room gives you somewhere to properly sit around a table rather than squeezing one into the corner of the kitchen. An attractive arched opening then leads through into the wonderfully light living room. This is one of those rooms where the scale only really becomes apparent once you are standing in it. There is plenty of room for substantial sofas and furniture, while glazed doors draw your eye towards a small balcony and the greenery beyond. Open the doors on a summer morning and it becomes a lovely spot for that first coffee of the day. The principal bedroom continues the theme of space. Fitted wardrobes take care of storage, while its own glazed doors open onto a further small balcony. An en suite bathroom includes a walk-in bath with handheld shower. And unusually for a property of this type, there are three further double bedrooms. That flexibility is important. Four bedrooms could mean a family home, but equally it provides the opportunity for proper home-working space, a guest room, hobby room or somewhere for grandchildren to stay without sacrificing your everyday living accommodation. Two of these bedrooms also benefit from fitted storage. A separate, fully tiled family bathroom completes the main accommodation, while two large loft access points provide additional illuminated storage space — another practical feature that is sometimes missing from apartment-style living. Outside, parking is refreshingly straightforward. There are two allocated parking spaces, together with additional visitor parking for guests. And then there is Grayshott itself. The Kings Peace sits right in the heart of this thriving Surrey/Hampshire border village. Leave the car at home and you can walk to the village shops, cafés, restaurants and pub, together with the doctors' surgery, pharmacy and other everyday amenities. Beyond the village are extensive National Trust woodlands, while Haslemere and Farnham provide larger shopping centres and mainline railway connections towards London. The A3 is also readily accessible for journeys north towards London or south towards the coast. For families, Grayshott has its own infant and junior schooling, with secondary schools including Woolmer Hill and Bohunt nearby, alongside a wide choice of independent schools throughout the area. The property is offered with no onward chain, providing an opportunity for a buyer wanting generous, flexible accommodation in one of the area's most popular villages without the responsibilities normally associated with a large family house. Sometimes the property label doesn't tell you the whole story. This is one of those occasions.
