Avenue Road, Freshwater

Street guide, Isle of Wight

A residential road in Freshwater connecting the village to the surrounding area. Avenue Road has a mix of Victorian, Edwardian and twentieth-century housing, with some larger properties set in generous gardens. The road is tree-lined in places and has a spacious, suburban character quite unlike the narrow streets of the eastern resort towns. Avenue Road connects to the roads leading towards Freshwater Bay, Totland and The Needles, making it a useful route for both residents and visitors. The properties along the road attract families and retirees drawn by the quiet, rural character of the western end of the island.
