The Thicket

Street guide, Portchester

A residential road in the Wicor area of western Portchester. The name suggests former woodland or dense hedgerow on the site before it was developed. The houses along The Thicket are mainly 1970s and 1980s builds, set along a curving road with several cul-de-sacs branching off it. The properties are a mix of detached and semi-detached family homes with garages and gardens. The Thicket is close to Wicor Recreation Ground and the harbour footpath, making it convenient for families who enjoy outdoor activities and waterfront walks. The street is quiet and has a settled, family-orientated atmosphere with well-kept front gardens and mature planting.
