Romsey retains its regular street market as well as a thriving town centre with shops, restaurants, public houses, leisure facilities and historical sites including Broadlands House. At the centre of Romsey is the market place, town hall and the stunning Abbey. Steeped in history from its Saxon roots and centred upon its imposing and prepossessing abbey, Romsey is the loveliest of market towns which has retained its intrinsic ‘village’ charm despite the modern onslaught of new housing requirements which has affected the integrity of many other towns and villages. Its sophisticated eateries, boutique shopping and comfortable social life holds appeal for a wide range prospective purchases from retirement to families looking for a safe and convenient lifestyle for their children. This is enhanced by its wealth of excellent local schooling within both the state and private sectors, which attracts many families to the area. Saturday morning strolls around Romsey with its variety of delicatessens and coffee shops serving gourmet breakfasts is an absolute treat.
