Abbotswood by Taylor Wimpey is situated in the historic town of Romsey. The development offers an extensive range of exciting and versatile house types to suit every lifestyle.

All the materials on the development have been carefully chosen to reflect the local area and to blend in with their immediate surroundings. Expertly designed to provide an efficient layout of floor space and built to high specification, the homes provide a high standard of style, practicality and energy efficiency.

A delightful place to call home, Romsey offers all the amenities needed for everyday life whilst retaining a distinct sense of history. The awe-inspiring Norman Abbey, which plays host to an eclectic annual music programme, dominates the town and is surrounded by medieval streets. Watermills play an important part in the history of Romsey (The Domesday Book of 1086 providing the earliest record of watermills here), and Sadler's Mill, dating back to the 16th century, is almost certainly the most famous of the town's surviving mills. Romsey Abbey, originally built to house a community of Benedictine nuns, is open daily to visitors. You may also wish to take part in The Mayor's Picnic - famous for its popular Duck Race - hosted mid-summer and held in Romsey's Memorial Park. Or perhaps you'd prefer the medieval King John's House, Tudor Cottage and former Victorian Gun shop, which together make a new heritage centre that boasts amazing period gardens and a bubbling mill stream as well as offering spellbinding displays. In Romsey, the past, present and future merge successfully and the recently renovated town centre now boasts a Waitrose supermarket, a department store, and over 100 other retail outlets, including high street chains and local shops, catering to all the needs of modern living.
