Romney Close

Street guide, Portchester

A small cul-de-sac off the main residential streets in the Cornaway Lane area, typical of the quiet closes that characterise much of postwar Portchester. Romney Close has a handful of houses arranged around a turning circle, with a sheltered, enclosed feel. The close is set back from the busier roads and sees almost no through traffic, making it a safe and quiet spot for families with young children. It is close to the village centre and within the catchment area of Castle Primary School. Properties here tend to be modestly sized but well maintained, and the close has a strong community feel with neighbours who know each other well.
