Living in Sarisbury
Day to day, Sarisbury is a leafy residential village in the Fareham borough near the River Hamble, with its own village green, its own infant and junior schools and Brookfield secondary close by, and the M27 and the coast within easy reach. Here is a sense of everyday life.
Sarisbury has the character of a genuinely leafy village, its own green with St Paul’s Church beside it, its own infant and junior schools, churches, and local parks and recreation grounds, with the amenities of neighbouring Locks Heath (its shopping centre and Waitrose at the Lockswood Centre) close by, and Fareham, Southampton and Portsmouth within reach. The big everyday pluses are the green, the schools and the handy riverside-edge position between the two cities.
Connectivity for working is generally good, superfast and full-fibre broadband reach much of the village, so home and hybrid working is well supported, complemented by the short drive or walk to Swanwick’s or Bursledon’s trains and the M27 for office days. The main trade-offs are that there is no station in the village, local roads such as Bridge Road can be busy at peak times, and there is a modest flood-risk consideration on low ground towards the Hamble, but for a well-placed riverside-edge village it is a popular and characterful choice.

History, heritage & famous connections
Sarisbury has a distinctive history rooted in the land and the river. For many years the settlement lay on the route to the ferry that crossed the River Hamble at Swanwick; when Bursledon Bridge replaced the ferry in 1800 and the turnpike road to Park Gate was built, Sarisbury found itself on the main Southampton-to-Portsmouth road. The surrounding area became a major provider of strawberries to the whole of the country, part of what became known as the ‘Strawberry Coast’, with apple orchards along Bridge Road, the main road through the village. St Paul’s Church was built in the 1830s as a district church of the extensive Titchfield parish, its main door facing onto the village green.
In the 20th century Sarisbury grew steadily into a residential village of Fareham, part of the ‘Western Wards’ between Fareham and Southampton, its old parish merged into the borough in 1932. Sarisbury Green, the village green at its heart, remains the focal point, with St Paul’s Church beside it, and the village today is a leafy, family-oriented place close to the M27, with the River Hamble to the west and the coast and sailing villages a short way to the south.
