Cottage Grove

Street guide, Southsea

Cottage Grove is a short, characterful street near the centre of Southsea, running between Kings Road and the streets behind Palmerston Road. The houses are a mix of smaller Victorian cottages and terraces, some with a slightly earlier, pre-Victorian character that distinguishes them from the standard bay-fronted terraces found elsewhere. The street has a quiet, tucked-away feel despite its central location. Cottage Grove is popular with residents who value the intimacy of a smaller street within walking distance of both Palmerston Road's shops and Albert Road's bars and restaurants.
