Location

Crowder Terrace is a peaceful and tucked-away side street in the very heart of the city, characterised by a mix of high-quality homes. Positioned just off Romsey Road, it lies approximately 0.3 miles from the pedestrianised High Street, placing it on the western side of the city centre and making it exceptionally well located. The variety of interesting architecture and fascinating ancient buildings make Winchester city centre and the High Street a unique and charming place to shop and spend time socially. At the heart of the city is the world-renowned 11th-century Winchester Cathedral, with quaint back streets leading to the centre, which contains a wealth of independent shops, boutiques, national retailers, and a varied choice of restaurants, bars, cafés, and recreational facilities.
