About Bassett
Bassett is a leafy residential area in the north of Southampton, about three miles from the city centre, between Southampton Common, the University of Southampton and the M3. It's known for larger detached and semi-detached family homes, 1930s houses and bungalows on wide, tree-lined roads, plus university halls around Glen Eyre.
Bassett Avenue and The Avenue run through the middle of the area, with Southampton Common and Highfield to the south, Bassett Wood and the Sports Centre to the west and Chilworth and the M3 to the north. We've moved families and students here for 15+ years – so we know the long driveways, the big wardrobes and the summer student rush.

Local know-how
Every Bassett move is a little different. Here's what we plan for so you don't have to:
✓ Bigger homes – detached houses often need a larger crew, two vans or packing the day before
✓ Driveways and access – long drives and gravel make planning where the van parks important
✓ Bassett Avenue traffic – the A33 is busy at rush hour, so we time moves to avoid it
✓ Student season – Glen Eyre and nearby halls get very busy in June and September
✓ Gardens and garages – garden furniture, sheds and garage contents need planning too
✓ Quick motorway access – the M3 and M27 are minutes away for longer moves

Getting here
Bassett sits on three main roads: the A33 Bassett Avenue running north–south, the A35 Burgess Road along the south and the A27 at Chilworth to the north. These are the routes our vans use to reach you quickly and move you on.
A33
The main road through Bassett, linking M3 Junction 14 at Chilworth to Southampton Common and the city centre.
A35
Runs along the southern edge of Bassett, linking The Avenue to Highfield, Swaythling and the A335.

By rail and bus: Bassett has no station of its own – the nearest are Swaythling and Southampton Airport Parkway, with Southampton Central in the city. Unilink and Bluestar buses run along The Avenue and Burgess Road. Most people moving home use the road – that's where we come in.
