The Location:
Elm Road is a delightful tree lined road that has been regarded a top location within Winchester for some time due to the proximity of the railway station and all the amenities of the city centre and offers sustainable lifestyle opportunities with many of the City's amenities within a short walk. Whilst the garden is south facing, if more space to let off energy is needed the Arbour is a little further than a 'stone's throw' away. The mainline rail station is under a five minutes' walk, with journey times to London Waterloo in under an hour and direct trains to Southampton, Basingstoke and beyond. Local shops can be found around the corner on Stockbridge Road with further facilities at Stoney Lane where there is a Waitrose store as well as smaller retailers and Friarsgate Doctors Surgery. There are also excellent links by road, whilst Southampton International Airport, the South Coast for sailing and the New Forest for walking and riding are all within an easy drive. There are lovely walks along the river Itchen through The Water Meadows and St. Catherine's Hill.
