Leith Avenue

Street guide, Portchester

A quiet residential avenue in the eastern part of Portchester, running between White Hart Lane and Northern Road. The houses along Leith Avenue are mainly postwar semi-detached properties with front gardens, driveways and a well-maintained, settled appearance. The street has a family feel and is popular with residents who appreciate the quiet setting combined with easy access to the railway station and the bus routes into Portsmouth and Fareham. Gardens are generally well kept, and the avenue has mature trees that give it a leafy character. It is a short walk from here to the harbour path, making it convenient for dog walkers and joggers heading to the waterfront.
