Westbourne Road

Street guide, Emsworth

Westbourne Road runs west from the town centre towards the neighbouring village of Westbourne, which lies about a mile to the west. The road is lined with residential properties, predominantly Victorian and Edwardian houses with some inter-war and later development. The character is suburban, with houses set back from the road behind front gardens. Westbourne Road is a well-used pedestrian and cycling route as well as a vehicular road, connecting the two communities. Westbourne itself has a village centre with shops, a pub, and a primary school, making it a useful local amenity for residents of the western end of the road. The road is relatively flat and straight, with trees along sections providing a green corridor. Properties range from larger detached Victorian houses to more modest semis, offering a variety of housing options.
