Additionally there is an integrated fridge/freezer, washing machine and dishwasher. A new energy efficient Neff slide and hide self-cleaning oven with Home Connect facility was installed in 2022.

Southview Road is a quiet no through road offering a mixture of old and new properties which are predominantly detached. A few doors up is a lane to a small (little known) green, which is great for sledging on in the winter, King George V Green, whilst a few local shops are within a couple of minutes walk from the top of the road. Headley Down itself is an attractive rural predominantly residential area, within easy reach of many acres of National Trust common, ideal for walking and riding including Ludshott Common, Arford Common and the more recently formed Headley Down Nature Reserve. In the immediate vicinity is a small convenience store, fuel station and take away. A newsagent and small delicatessen can be found in Headley village. Just a short walk on from Ludshott Common towards Grayshott is Applegarth, a restaurant, farm shop and cookery school.
