Halterworth Lane, Romsey

Location:
Halterworth is an established and popular area about a mile and a half from Romsey, a historic market town famous for its Norman Abbey and picturesque location on the River Test.  The town centre itself has a Waitrose superstore along with an eclectic mix of local independent shops and familiar High Street names, intermingled with numerous coffee shops, bars and restaurants to suit all tastes.  Bus and train stations provide links to the neighbouring cities of Salisbury, Winchester and Southampton, and Romsey is well placed for access onto the M3/M27 network for onward travel to London, the south coast and the West Country.  For families, the catchment schools are the highly sought-after Halterworth primary and Mountbatten secondary schools and, in the private sector, Romsey is home to the Stroud Preparatory School and Embley Senior School and Sixth Form.
