In Harnham itself are local shops, restaurants, a hotel and churches and the house is an easy and pleasant walk away from the city, via the beautiful Cathedral Close. For those London commuters both the City and the train station are a pleasant walk away.

98 Harnham Road is set in beautifully maintained gardens. To the front there is a 5 bar gate giving access to a gravelled drive with parking for 2/3 cars. A side gate leads to the rear garden which has a great variety of specimen plants and trees with well established boarders and flower beds. There is a patio area leading from the conservatory, a greenhouse and two large wooden sheds. A grassed path leads to a large lawn and in turn to a summer house at the bottom of the garden. The River Avon is positioned at the bottom of the garden, the view over the river, meadows and towards the Cathedral is simply wonderful. In all a private and large garden which is ideal for those with green fingers.
