This wonderful property occupies a delightful location in the extensive grounds of Yafford Mill, an 18th century restored mill, set amidst the beautiful countryside of the coastal area of south west wight. This is ‘An Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty’. The quiet and unspoilt beaches of Brighstone and Brook are within a 5 minute drive. The main village of Brighstone is set a little inland and is a very picturesque spot with thatched cottages, a public house plus cafe/restaurant, good general stores, post office and NT shop. Much of this beautiful coastal region is protected by the National Trust. It is a wonderful walking area with downland and woodland walks and a coastal path with dramatic and panoramic views. There are a variety of small quiet sandy bays in this western part of the island. Also nearby is the small town of Freshwater and the very pleasant coastal town of Yarmouth which is a popular sailing centre and has a variety of excellent restaurants and small shops.
