Norton Thatch offers the very best of coastal living close to the heart of Yarmouth with a wonderful blend of natural beauty, outdoor adventure and relaxed island life. With red squirrels visiting the garden, nature is right on your doorstep, while the surrounding coastline provides endless opportunities for boating, sailing/racing, walking and enjoying beautiful beaches, such as Sandhard Beach, a stone’s thrown from the property. With a yacht club, a sailing club and excellent ferry connections from Yarmouth to Lymington, the mainland is very accessible, yet this utterly charming Yarmouth house feels a world away from the everyday. Perfect for memorable entertaining, Norton Thatch is the ideal place to gather family and friends, make the most of its stunning coastal setting and enjoy an exceptional lifestyle by the sea.

The house is believed to date from the late 17th Century with natural stone walls under a mainly thatched roof. Character features include beamed ceilings, open fireplaces, eyebrow windows and Dutch guttering. It is in excellent decorative condition. The roof was re-thatched last year.

Set in large gardens, partly walled to the front and with a pretty stream crossing the rear garden. It is about 500m from the sought after and picturesque harbour town of Yarmouth.
