Sussex Road

Street guide, Emsworth

Sussex Road runs through the eastern part of Emsworth, reflecting the town's position on the Hampshire-Sussex border. The road is residential, with a mix of inter-war and post-war housing. The street name is a reminder that the county boundary runs through the Emsworth area, and some parts of the wider settlement are technically in West Sussex rather than Hampshire. Sussex Road has a suburban character, with houses set back from the road with front gardens. The road connects to Havant Road and provides access to the Warblington area. It is a quiet residential street, carrying mainly local traffic. Properties here are among the more affordable in the Emsworth area, offering family-sized housing without the premium of the harbour-front or town centre locations.
