Living in Haslemere
A leafy town where Surrey, Sussex and Hampshire meet, surrounded by National Trust countryside and well connected to London.
On the edge of the Surrey Hills, where three counties meet, Haslemere is one of the South East's most desirable market towns. A characterful high street, a strong cultural life and direct trains into London give it an unusual blend of country setting and genuine convenience.
The town wraps period homes and leafy residential roads around a lively centre of independent cafes, restaurants, boutiques and traditional pubs, with National Trust land and open country on its doorstep. It appeals right across the board, to families, professionals and downsizers.
Getting around
Haslemere's mainline station offers direct services to London Waterloo, one of the town's biggest draws for commuters, while the A3 is close by for Guildford, Portsmouth and the wider road network.
Local life and amenities
The high street and surrounding lanes are full of independents, from delis and cafes to galleries and boutiques, alongside the everyday shops and supermarkets. Around the town, large swathes of National Trust countryside, including some of the highest ground in the area, make it a haven for walkers.
Families and schools
Haslemere is well known for the quality and choice of its schools, both state and independent, which is a major reason families are drawn here and a key support for long-term rental demand.
