Sherborne Road

Street guide, Chichester

Sherborne Road is a residential street in the Whyke area of southern Chichester, close to the University of Chichester's Bishop Otter campus. The road serves a neighbourhood of post-war housing, with a mix of semi-detached houses, terraces, and some newer development. The proximity to the university means that some properties are let to students, giving parts of the area a younger demographic profile than the city average. Sherborne Road connects the Whyke residential area to the eastern side of the city and provides access to the university campus, local schools, and the Parklands area. The road is quiet and residential in character, with modest traffic volumes. The housing is generally affordable by Chichester standards, making the area popular with first-time buyers and young families as well as university staff. Local amenities include a convenience store and a primary school. Bus services connect the area to the city centre. The road is lined with mature trees in several sections, and the gardens along the street give it a green, settled appearance.
