The Abbeyfield Yarmouth Society Ltd house in Yarmouth is called ‘The Coach House’. We have converted it to provide family style accommodation for ten older people in an atmosphere of care, companionship and support.

Abbeyfield Yarmouth Society Ltd is an Independent Member of Abbeyfield England Ltd – The Abbeyfield Society. Richard Carr-Gomm, the founder, recognised in the post-war years that many older single people were isolated and lonely. He opened houses in local areas within London which gave residents their own rooms, warmth, food and companionship. As the residents flourished, so did the number of houses available to older people throughout the United Kingdom.

The Coach House was opened in March 1998 and has been arranged so that each resident has their own personal and secure room to rent. Abbeyfield Yarmouth Society Ltd would be your landlord.
