“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 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 of purchases from retirees to
families looking for a safe and convenient
lifestyle for their children. This is enhanced by a
wealth of excellent local schooling within both
the state and private sectors, which attracts
many families to the area - including my own.
Personally, I have never tired of Saturday
morning family strolls around Romsey and
enjoying the variety of delicatessens and coffee
shops serving gourmet breakfasts.
The Test Valley villages surrounding the town
are also delightful, varied in their stature and
amenities, yet all synonymously picturesque
and attractive, offering a diverse range of
architecture from pretty farm cottages to
impressive manor
houses and estates.
Its generic appeal
has assisted Charles
Powell’s success in
selling housing in
the area. It enjoys its
own microclimate
which remains
more resilient to the
political and economic environment, no more
evident than in our surprising success of house
sales in November and December 2018, against
the backdrop of Brexit ‘stagnancy’.
Having settled in Romsey for the last 20
years, my own testament to this Hampshire
haven is that I would never wish to move.
Its allure is captivating. It is as vibrant as it is
tranquil, enchantingly parochial yet commuter
accessible, but above all I have experienced
the kindest and well-spirited community which
has afforded me such a wonderful network
of friends. This is why people want to move to
Romsey!”
