Hitting the heights: 8 Drovers Retreat, Romsey

Hitting the heights: 8 Drovers Retreat, Romsey

Perched on a gentle rise affording it uplifting views over the township and distant hills, this Victoriana tribute sprawls across its corner block of about 1670 square metres. It puts on an eye-catching show in the process.

This great family home could also be brilliant for people who spend part of their year travelling. While the front garden is a lovely mix (and once-a-year chore) of formal box hedging and roses, there’s little to do elsewhere – and there are side gates to a perfect parking spot for a caravan when “in residence”.
