Tucked away in the peaceful seaside hamlet of Norton, just across the river from the historic market town of Yarmouth, is 4 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.
Set up a crunchy gravel driveway with parking spaces right by the front door, guests to 4 Salterns will discover a contemporary three-storey home, overlooking a tranquil neighbourhood with its own communal lawn.
Once through the door, make your way to the first floor - the heart of this home - where you’ll find the bright and airy living room with its 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 kitchen, featuring tasteful oak worktops and a shiny Belfast sink, plus all the mod cons you could wish for (such as an integrated microwave, dishwasher, oven and even a handy little wine cooler!). The dining area has seating for eight but if the sun is shining, you’ll most likely want to take your meal out onto decked balcony which overlooks the private garden to the rear.
Heading up to the top floor, this level houses the restful master bedroom (with en-suite shower), a cosy twin and a spick and span double (which both share the modern family bathroom). Moving back down to ground level, you’ll discover an extra single bedroom with its own adjoining shower room, particularly useful for those with limited mobility.
Located in the hamlet of Norton, 4 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 too.
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.
