The mainline railway station runs a direct route to London's Waterloo in just over an hour whilst the nearby A303 offers good road access to both London and the West Country. South Street is a one-way street for traffic and starts from the town centre at the junction of Bridge Street and Winchester Street; it is literally a stones-throw from the town centre and all the usual amenities but has a calm, residential feel. The location is on the sought after southern side of the town with its proximity to not only the town centre but also the nearest outlying village of Upper Clatford and nearby open countryside. Rooksbury Mill Lakes and Nature Reserve are close by as are two golf clubs located either side of the A303. The property also benefits from proximity to nearby primary and secondary schools.
