PORTSMOUTH&SOUTHSEA

Portsmouth the only Island City in the World!!. Is fast becoming the place to live on the south coast with its waterside shopping centres, restaurants&bars including Port Solent and the excellent Gunwharf Quays, Portsmouth shopping has it all!! Included in these developments are many desirable properties which in turn has increased the housing boom in the city. Portsmouth city centre is also undergoing redevelopment in the shape of the 'Northern Quarter's multi million pound development which will further increase Portsmouth's desirability as the place to live in the south of Hampshire.

Most parts of Portsmouth and the surrounding area are served by excellent bus and rail services(Portsmouth-London Waterloo in approx 90mins) .The A3 bus corridor(a dedicated bus lane from Portsmouth-Clanfield) is now nearly complete and this will enhance the already excellent bus services serving the city of Portsmouth and its environs. Portsmouth&Southsea also has several parks and open spaces in which to explore, but if you are the adventurous type and want to see more of the world Portsmouth is an excellent base in which to do it. Portsmouth&Southsea also has excellent links to the Isle of Wight and France. It takes ten minutes to travel from Southsea to the Isle Of Wight by hovercraft and approx 30 mins by car ferry. You can also have lunch in Southsea and in 2 hours be in France in time for Dinner!! This area is somewhat unique in that it is surrounded by beautiful countryside, with Butser Hill and the Queen Elizabeth Countryside Park only 20 minutes away by car and 30 minutes by train(disembark at Petersfield).The South Downs(soon to be a National Park)is also a similar distance away.
