Location

Clifton Road has a wonderful outlook across the open park of Oram's Arbour and is located within a convenient proximity of the city's High Street and mainline railway station. The area of
Oram's Arbour forms a desirable collection of quiet lanes, with a variety of period homes.

There are captivating walks through the cathedral streets leading to St. Catherine's Hill and the water meadows around St Cross where walkers or cyclists can follow the Itchen Navigation south out of Winchester to local villages.

For the commuter there are fast links within the hour to London Waterloo or within 20 mins to Southampton Parkway/Airport as well as excellent communications for the M3 and A34. Clifton Road is within catchment for the highly regarded Western and Westgate Schools in Fulflood which is around 0.5 miles from the property.

The City also provides some of the finest schooling in the country, which includes Kings School, Pilgrims, St Swithuns Girls School, Winchester College and Peter Symonds Sixth Form College all of which have superb reputations.
