Blackwater: A Hidden Gem on the Hampshire/Surrey Border
Blackwater often flies under the radar, but anyone who lives here knows it’s a brilliant place to call home. I’ve been helping families move around the Yateley and Blackwater area for over 10 years, and I know just how much buyers value its mix of convenience, affordability, and community.
Whether it’s a walk along the River Blackwater, grabbing fish and chips on London Road, or hopping on the train to Reading or Guildford, Blackwater offers a lifestyle that appeals to young professionals, families, and downsizers alike.
Why Buyers Love Blackwater
1. Great Transport Links
Blackwater Station provides direct services to Reading, Guildford, and Gatwick. For road commuters, the M3 and A30 are within easy reach, making it ideal for professionals working across Hampshire, Berkshire, and Surrey.

3. Amenities on the Doorstep
The Meadows shopping centre (with Tesco and Marks & Spencer) is a major draw, while local pubs like The Rose & Thistle add character to the town.
