Haslemere is the most southerly town in historic Surrey, but its proximity to neighbouring West Sussex and Hampshire means residents can enjoy the pristine countryside and many attractions of all three counties.

Occupying an idyllic spot between the South Downs National Park and the Surrey Hills Area of Natural Beauty, Haslemere has some of the UK’s most unspoilt countryside on the doorstep, including the Devil’s Punch Bowl. The Greensand Way footpath begins in the town and stretches over 100 miles to Hamstreet in Kent, taking in many lovely villages and Surrey Hills vistas along the way. The National Trust manages many local sites, such as the tranquil woodland of Swan Barn Farm moments from the high street and Black Down, the highest point in the South Downs. The Sculpture Park in nearby Churt is set in a 10-acre arboretum with pleasant walking trails and stunning artworks on display.

What does our local Hamptons community think

We recently sold our family home of over 12 years through Hamptons. Given the uncertainty of the market sector, we were so impressed with the way that Stuart, Rachel and the team at Hamptons dealt with the sale. They were completely professional at every stage and gave us great support throughout. This is the 4th time we have moved since being homeowners and this was by far the smoothest, stress free experience to date. Thank you Hamptons.

Superb service from Stuart and the team at Hamptons in Haslemere. Nothing was too much trouble for Stuart - he really took the time and effort to understand our property and our circumstances, with great communication and intelligent market analysis throughout. The result was a sale which we and our purchasers were really happy with. He's easily the best agent we have worked with. Thank you Stuart and the team.

Ellie Crisell May 2024

We recently sold our house with Hamptons. We were really impressed by the dedication and professionalism Stuart, Rachel and James showed and how positive they were. We felt we were in a safe pair of hands. The excellent service continued with the actual purchase of our house. We have previous experience of estate agents, there is no comparison. Our only regret is that we didn't go to Hamptons in the first place.
