Freshwater Bay
Positioned close to the charming village of Freshwater Bay, the property offers the perfect balance of rural tranquillity and coastal living. Freshwater Bay is one of the most picturesque beaches in West Wight and lies just to the South of the village of Freshwater. Set within a designated area of outstanding natural beauty and surrounded by downs offering spectacular views and walks, its easy to see why Tennyson made Farringford and Freshwater Bay his home!
Within the bay there is a family run store (Orchard's, open since 1865!), a charming thatched church, the fabulous Piano Cafe which is open throughout the season and the awesome woodfired pizza van visits the Bay every week throughout the majority of the year.
The village of Freshwater has a large supermarket, butcher, fishmonger and bakery, and a good range of small independent shops. The historic town of Yarmouth is only a short drive (or 40 min walk) away, and has a range of boutique shops, restaurants and pubs. There is also the ferry link to Lymington.
