Situation

Searle Road is a well-established tree-lined residential road in the extremely popular south Farnham area and is within easy walking distance of the town centre and mainline station (Waterloo 55 minutes). The area is well served with excellent schools nearby for all age groups and, as a consequence, is highly sought after. Farnham provides a comprehensive range of shops, pubs and restaurants, as well as Farnham Leisure Centre, the Maltings art centre and a 6 screen cinema. There is good access to the major road networks via the A31, which links to the A3, A331 and M3. The surrounding area boasts many miles of open countryside, much of it under the ownership of The National Trust, and of particular note are the Bourne Woods and Alice Holt Forest, which are ideal for walking, riding and country pursuits.
