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 shops, amenities and cafés including a 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: Woolston Train Station (0.2 miles), 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. A short journey across the Itchen Bridge will take you to Southampton City Centre where you can enjoy a hearty meal in a traditional English pub or treat yourself to some fine dining in a Michelin star restaurant in Ocean Village, Southampton City Centre, the new Cultural Quarter and Oxford Street.
