Vectis Way

Street guide, Cosham

A residential road in the northern part of Cosham, between Northern Road and the lower slopes of Portsdown Hill. The name references the Isle of Wight, visible from the higher ground nearby. Vectis Way has a mix of interwar and postwar housing, with semi-detached and detached properties set back from the road with front gardens and driveways. The street is quiet and residential, seeing only local traffic. Properties here benefit from their elevated position, with some houses enjoying partial views southwards across the city. The road connects to several closes and cul-de-sacs in the surrounding area, forming part of a network of quiet residential streets.
