Seacliffe is an immaculate four bedroomed semi-detached Victorian house built circa 1860 in Ballaveare on Old Castletown Road, which is a charming part of Port Soderick with many very prestigious properties. Port Soderick Glen Road is 300m away. On the right this leads to Port Soderick Glen, a Manx National Glen of some 15 acres with walks that lead to Port Soderick Bay beach. Port Soderick Railway Station is half way down this road where the Isle of Man Steam Railway, with its original carriages and dining car, passes by from Douglas to stations in the South. On the left, this road leads to Marine Drive with its amazing views across to Wales and Cumbria. This road also leads to the registered Port Soderick Dark Sky Discovery Site where stargazing and the Northern Lights may be seen from the upper car park.
Seacliffe is set back behind a Manx stone wall and double black and gold metal gates leading to an 11 metre (36 feet) block paved driveway. It has sea views to the front and fields to the rear, benefitting from extensive refurbishment in 2021 with additional ancillary accommodation suitable for multi-generational family living or holiday let potential. Port Soderick is a popular village location within easy travelling distance to the centre of Douglas only 6.4km (4 miles) away and Ronaldsway Airport some 8.4km (5.2 miles) away.
