  Is it possible to have my blogroll
  (i) sort according to how recently those sites have updated the content (i.e. most recently updated on top)
  (ii) add the most recent blog titles under the link
  (iii) show an image with the link rather than a standard square bullet (I did check show link image)

  e.g. blogspot blogrolls look something like this:

  Please see here > The RSS Widget displays posts from any RSS feed. > http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/rss-widget/

  You are not describing a Blogroll. This is a Blogroll (Links) > The Links Widget displays a list of links (also known as a blogroll) in your sidebar. If you want to share your favorite blogs or websites with your readers, this is the widget for you. To use this feature, you first need to create a blogroll. > http://en.support.wordpress.com/blogroll/add-a-blogroll-link/

  The first sentence in my second paragraph above is is dumb. :( Yes, you can do all that. Click the links I provided above and you will find the instructions to accomplish what you want.

  The blogspot thing you are describing is not available here. You can use the blogroll (links widget) to show a list of links and as Timethief says, you can use the RSS widget to show links, title and short snippet of the latest posts from individual blogs, but you will have to use one for each blog you want to list.
