Residents enjoy their own Grand Slam in Hindhead

With this year’s Wimbledon lawn tennis championship in full swing and Andy Murray in with a good chance of being the first British Champion in over 70 years, homebuyers who have been inspired by the action, and those looking to improve their game, can satisfy their Wimbledon dream at Crest Nicholson’s development, The Beacon, in Hindhead, Surrey.

The Beacon is an idyllic new gated community which comprises an attractive mix of two and three bedroom apartments set within 6.4 acres of beautiful, mature landscaped gardens. With residents benefitting from the use of three private, on-site tennis courts, any would-be Nadals and Federers can practice their tennis skills to their heart’s content.

Greg Ketteridge, Managing Director at Crest Nicholson (South) Ltd. commented: “At The Beacon we are looking to promote a fresh approach to physical activity in our resident’s daily lives. We have tried to create a community that emphasises quality of life and the private tennis courts are designed to offer hours of pleasure and also provide a good way to keep fit.

“The on-site leisure facilities and surrounding open countryside found at The Beacon are proving to be a real added benefit for anyone looking to buy here. The development is the perfect lifestyle option, with competitive prices meaning that potential purchasers can own a slice of healthy, countryside living from as little as £153,965*.”

Ideally located in an exclusive country estate, rich in wildlife and woodland, the homes have been designed to enhance their exceptional setting and, beyond the development’s wide, sweeping lawns and verdant parkland, lay the breathtaking views of Surrey's areas of outstanding natural beauty. The Devil’s Punchbowl, a large natural amphitheatre and beauty spot of heathland, streams and woodland is only a short stroll away. The Beacon also offers its residents private underground parking and the use of a golfing green.

In addition to The Beacon’s private leisure facilities, there is a wealth of other outdoor pursuits available locally including cycling, horse riding and sailing at Frensham Ponds. There are several excellent golf clubs to choose from, while Spectrum leisure centre in Guildford and Grayshott Hall, a renowned luxury spa, are both within easy reach.

The nearby village of Hindhead has excellent road links that will be improved with the construction of the new A3 Hindhead tunnel, which is well underway and is anticipated to be open by 2012. The pretty town of Haslemere, with its cobbled streets and selection of eateries, is only five miles away and Guildford, 15 miles from the development, offers an array of restaurants and bars.
