3 Bathrooms Tucked away in the peaceful seaside hamlet of Norton, just across the river from the historic market town of Yarmouth, is 6 The Salterns. This stylish, coastal holiday home makes a perfect base for families looking to explore the best the Island’s west side has to offer, whilst still remaining close to the beaches of Colwell, Compton and Sandhard - as well as the Wightlink car ferry to Lymington.
Once through the door, you’ll discover two bedrooms (one double and a bunk bed room with door out to the patio and garden) which share a fully tiled shower room, particularly useful for those with limited mobility. There is also a utility room with washer/dryer and small fridge to stock for drinks.
Heading up to the first floor you’ll find the heart of this home - a bright and airy living room with a corner log burner, L-shaped sofa and Smart TV. There’s also a generously wide Juliet balcony here, with far-reaching views out onto the nearby fields and woodlands. Next door is the open plan shaker style kitchen, featuring tasteful oak worktops and a shiny Belfast sink, plus all the mod cons you could wish for (such as an integrated microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, oven and even a handy little wine cooler!). The dining area has seating for ten but if the sun is shining, you’ll most likely want to take your meal out onto the deep decked terrace or furnished patio below which overlooks the rear private landscaped garden.
Heading up to the top floor, this level houses the restful large master bedroom with a full length double window and en-suite shower and a further two twin rooms (which both share the modern family bathroom).
The property has a shared driveway and hardstanding for 2/3 vehicles underneath the car/boat port. There is gated side access to one side which leads you to the enclosed landscaped terraced garden at the rear where you’ll find a dining table and chairs as well as a gas BBQ.
Located in the hamlet of Norton, 6 The Salterns is just a short, ten-minute stroll from Fort Victoria Country Park and the dunes and beaches of Sandhard. Crossing the Yar Bridge, you’ll find the historic harbour town of Yarmouth, known for its long wooden pier and chunky Tudor castle. The town is also home to a range of stylish and interesting retailers (take a look down Wheatsheaf Lane and the High Street in particular), plus a number of well-respected pubs, cafés and restaurants like The George, Salty’s or The Terrace.
From Yarmouth, there’s a stunning riverside walk you can take, past the Georgian watermill and along the old railway tracks to Freshwater - where we’d recommend ending with a drink and a meal at the highly regarded Red Lion in Church Place. Other nearby attractions include The Needles, Tapnell Farm, Dimbola Lodge and Farringford House, whilst Freshwater Bay (2.5 miles to the south) gives plenty of opportunities for swimming, surfing and even sea kayaking.
