St Cross Road lies in the St Faith’s catchment area and is one of the city’s principal residential roads in the prime area of St Cross which lies to the south of the High Street and city centre. The main amenities of the city centre are within feasible walking distance and they include a first class shopping centre, a varied range of restaurants, cinema, theatre and sports centre. There are lovely walks beside the river through the water meadows around the College and Cathedral Close. Communications are excellent with a mainline station on the Waterloo line and fast access on to the M3 north to London or south to the M27 coastal motorway, Southampton International Airport and the European ferry port at Portsmouth.

61 St Cross Road lies on the eastern side of the road and is one of a pair of very handsome early 19th century red brick three storey town houses with inset sash windows, modillion cornice, parapet and slate roof. In the last twenty years the house has been comprehensively restored including re-roofing, re-wiring, re-plumbing and new central heating and tanking the cellar to create additional accommodation. The kitchen was installed eight years ago and the bathrooms and cloakroom and redecorating have taken place in the last two years. The house retains much of its inherent character and features include Victorian fireplaces, pine panelled doors and polished floor boards. The rooms are well proportioned, have good ceiling heights and from the upper floors there are long views towards St Catherine’s Hill.

THE GARDEN
There is a charming partly walled and fenced east facing garden. Adjoining the conservatory there is a paved terrace set within dwarf brick walled beds. Flagstone stepping stones lead across the lawn with further flowering shrubs, climbing, spring bulbs, barbecue and herbaceous plants. There is a Timber Garden Store with a circular brick paviour terrace in front.
