The Surrey County Record Office (which calls itself The Surrey History Centre) should hold all of the old OS maps (and much older maps as well), together with publications such as Kelly's directories (which can help with locating certain properties):

I've checked with Alan Godfrey maps and can't see that area in their losts but here is the gazetter description from 1868 which may pinpoint a better map from Gidfreys, they are excellent reproductions and very cheap:

HASLEMERE
Description and History from 1868 Gazetteer
HASLEMERE, a parish and small market town in the second division of the hundred of Godalming, county Surrey, 9 miles S.W. of Godalming, and 13 from Guildford. It is a station on the direct London and Portsmouth railway. This place is situated on the road to Chichester by way of Midhurst, and in the S.W. angle of the county, where it borders on Sussex and Hampshire.
It is mentioned in Domesday Book as a borough, having been rebuilt after its destruction by the Danes. In the 14th century it formed part of the demesnes of the see of Salisbury, and obtained a charter from Henry II. granting the privilege of holding a market and fair. These having been discontinued for many years, a new charter was granted by Queen Elizabeth, in the 38th year of her reign, in which it is also stated that "the burgesses had, from time immemorial, at their own costs, sent two members to parliament." The privilege, however, of electing representatives appears only to have been regularly exercised from the 27th of Elizabeth, and was discontinued at the Reform Bill.
It is a borough by prescription, and has a bailiff and constable, who are chosen at the court-leet in April or May, but the magisterial and public business is transacted at Guildford. The town contains a market-house, and a literary and scientific institution, established in 1849. The principal trade of the place is woodturning, and there are paper-mills in the neig
