Coach Road

Street guide, Hamble

Coach Road runs through the village connecting the High Street area to the southern parts of Hamble towards the common and the foreshore. The name suggests its historical use as a route for horse-drawn coaches accessing the waterfront or the ferry crossing. Today it is a residential street with a mix of older and newer housing. The road has a gentle gradient and provides pedestrian and vehicular access towards Hamble Common. Properties along Coach Road are generally well-maintained family houses, and the street has a quiet residential character. It lies within the conservation area and benefits from the controls on development that this designation provides. The street is used by walkers heading to the common and the coastal path.
