South-facing patio, discreet solar panels, and gated paddock

Tucked away on the outskirts of Yarmouth, this detached 18th-century cottage sits within approximately one acre of secluded, mature gardens. The house combines strong historic character with flexible living spaces — L-shaped sitting and dining areas, a large ground-floor reception/annex, and three generous bedrooms upstairs. Discreet solar panels, a south-facing patio, and a gated paddock add practical value for modern living.
The grounds and outbuildings are standout features: a double garage, former pottery outbuilding, greenhouse, summer house and very large plot provide scope for hobbies, storage or small-scale equestrian/paddock use. The property benefits from excellent access to Yarmouth’s harbour, nearby beaches and the fast ferry to Southampton, while remaining peacefully private down a shared driveway.
The house retains many period features and offers clear potential for reconfiguration or improvement — the principal bedroom already uses walk-in cupboards creatively and could accommodate an en-suite subject to consent. Note the solid stone walls are assumed to lack insulation and the property may benefit from energy-efficiency upgrades; council tax is above average. Buyers should factor in general maintenance for an older building and verify any planning or building-regulation requirements before altering listed or historic fabric.
Overall this is a rare, character-filled rural home for those seeking privacy and scope: ideal for a family wanting extensive outdoor space and proximity to coastal amenities, or for someone looking to invest in a historic property with sensible improvement potential.
