Norton, Isle of Wight

A stunning three-bedroom 1920's detached house under a cedar Mansard roof, with a separate garage all within a private, sunny plot on the edge of historic Yarmouth.

This previously thatched lodge is a delightful cottage-style property in its own hedge and shrub enclosed gardens. It is a superb character family house. Braxton Lodge has been exceptionally well maintained, benefitting from double glazing and gas central heating throughout. The core of the lodge, reached from an attractive outer hallway, is an impressive double aspect large sitting room/diner with a wood burner and two east facing windows framing the fireplace. French doors at the other end, with windows either side, lead out to the lovely south/west secluded rear garden with its patio area, wood store, shed and greenhouse.

The sunny, triple aspect, well appointed kitchen/diner is yet another feature of the house. The inner hallway leads to the charming double aspect study with a fireplace and cast iron electric stove. The study could also make an excellent additional bedroom should it be required. The shower room and utility room are accessed from the inner hallway.

Upstairs are three attractive double bedrooms, all of which have built in wardrobes with ample cupboard space. The spacious family shower room has an electric shower and houses the large airing cupboard and hot water cylinder. There is potential to extend the upstairs to provide a fourth bedroom and ensuite bathroom subject to the necessary planning permissions.

Outside, and to the front, there is a five bar gate with pedestrian access and a spacious brick paved driveway leading to a large brick built detached garage with power and light and side door access. The fully boarded, highly functional loft space, with light would provide ideal storage for sailing and water sport enthusiasts. There is an EV charging point and plenty of space to park cars and trailer. The beautiful secluded , shrub bordered gardens, which wrap around the house, are mainly laid to lawn with a number of impressive pine trees to the front and an oak tree at either end of the rear garden. These provide a perfect habitat and safe-haven for the Island's protected red squirrels.

Braxton Lodge is located off Westhill Lane, just a short walk from Fort Victoria Country Park, several sea view cafes and sandy beaches. There are miles of coastal footpaths virtually on the doorstep with circular walks across fields and through woodlands with stunning view of the iconic Tennyson Monument and famous Needles and the west Solent and the mainland beyond.
The historic harbourside town of Yarmouth has a good range of amenities, regular ferry service to Lymington and there are well supported/ vibrant sailing and yacht clubs.
