A quintessential, luxurious country home offering the best of both worlds; a secluded, rural location, yet having the convenience of a short drive to the business district and amenities of Douglas and Onchan. This impressive Victorian fronted period property has been meticulously curated to provide beautifully designed, contemporary family living, whilst elegantly retaining or reinstating period features throughout to complement the property’s character. Its generous proportions extend to 5/6 bedrooms, 5 reception rooms, 3 bathrooms and an imposing dining room extending off the side of the shaker-style kitchen, alongside an elegant formal sitting room. The expansive and beautifully maintained gardens extend almost one acre with countryside views. The south facing lawned garden is surrounded by established trees, fruit trees, shrubs & plants, whilst the front garden is landscaped with fragrant roses & wisteria framing the original sash windows to the front facade of the property. Well situated is the detached oak-framed carport which can comfortably accommodate two cars. An early viewing is essential to experience country living at its best.
