Location - Baffins is a highly-desirable part of Portsmouth on the Eastern side of the island, best known for the gorgeous pond which is a habitat for ducks, geese, swans and other wild fowl. Romsey Avenue itself is a hardly-known road, at the bottom of Langstone Road meaning ideal access for commuting.

Before the area became developed for housing, it had been occupied by a farm of the same name. This farm (known as Bavins Farm) had a history stretching back to the 12th century. The only surviving remnant of the rural past is Baffins Pond and the adjoining Tangier Field - a large open space between Baffins Pond and Portsmouth College at the eastern end of the field. The pond is managed as a wildlife refuge and is popular with people of all ages. There is also a play area at Baffins Pond with equipment for children of all ages as well as a ball-court with basketball and 5-a-side goals.

The local shopping area for Baffins is in Tangier Road, just a 2 minute drive or short walk from the property. The many shops and businesses include a post office within the Co-op store, newsagents, butchers, a greengrocer, a pharmacist, numerous take-aways, and 'The Baffins' pub. The Alderman Lacey Library is at the edge of Baffins Pond. There are two churches in Tangier Road: St Joseph's Catholic Church and a City Life Church. St Cuthbert's Church is located in Hayling Avenue which borders Baffins Pond on its southern side. There is also a GP (the Baffins Surgery) next to this church. The Baffins area is served by Langstone Infant and Junior School, Westover Primary School, Admiral Lord Nelson School and Milton Cross Academy.

If you've not been to Baffins before, we highly recommend booking some time out prior or after the viewing to really explore the beautiful area!
