Location The general character of Oak Road and Woolston is suburban with traces of the former rural settlement that gave it its special character in the past. Developed from a small rural settlement into substantial residential suburb, Woolston now benefits from an outstanding selection of local transport links, shops, amenities and cafés. From Woolston Train Station (0.2 miles), Blue Star & First bus routes (0.2 miles), Lidl Supermarket (0.5 miles), Greggs Outlet (0.4 miles), Superdrug and Boots (0.4 miles). Exceptional schools are nearby including the Woolston Infant School (0.4 miles), Ludlow Infant and Junior School (0.4 miles) and the St. Patricks Catholic School (0.2 miles) which has been rated 'Good' by Ofsted. Other local points include: local pubs including The Obelisk Pub (0.4 miles) and Yacht Tavern (0.6 miles), Peatree Green Nature Reserve (0.6 miles) and although you can spend most days relaxing by the river and basking in the tranquil setting, the fast-paced city of Southampton is just a stone's throw away.
