Deanwood are delighted to present Loughan Y Yeigh to the market – an exceptional and private Manx stone country residence with significant historical provenance.
Superbly located near Ramsey and set beside the Sulby River in a picturesque, sparsely populated, and sheltered rural setting, Loughan Y Yeigh offers a unique blend of charm, character, and tranquillity that is sure to captivate prospective buyers.
Translating from Manx as “small lake of geese,” the property dates back to 1761 and has long-standing farming roots. It was later owned by Thomas Corlett (1792–1861), an Advocate and Vicar General, who extended the property into a model farm of its time. Evidence of this remains visible today, including original timbers in the impressive hexagonal sitting room—once used to house an ox-driven grindstone.
Notable features have been thoughtfully retained, including the Bailiff’s House (or Butler’s Cottage), arched covered carriage entrance, exposed beams, a character staircase, and a former grain store tower.
For many years, the property was home to gentlemen farmers and, more recently, to distinguished owners such as Sir Basil Parkes, once head of the world’s largest deep-sea trawling company. He continued the proud Manx fishing tradition and authored Trawling the Past while living at Loughan Y Yeigh.
The property is arranged around an attractive enclosed courtyard, accessed via a striking carriage entrance. Later additions include an indoor swimming pool, sauna, and changing rooms—originally envisioned as part of a country club concept. Further enhancements embrace the surrounding gardens, with a long sun loggia inspired by classic Italian design, and a generously proportioned conservatory ideal for entertaining, adjoining the kitchen and dining areas.
Set in approximately 3 acres of beautifully landscaped formal gardens, the grounds have been a true labour of love for the current owner. Thoughtfully planted with rare and exotic trees and plants from around the world, the gardens also include a productive walled vegetable plot, enclosed orchard, and vibrant rose and flower beds. Together, they offer a blend of self-sufficiency and seasonal colour. An additional 12 acres of biodiverse meadowland make this a versatile property, ideal for a range of lifestyle pursuits and hobbies. The home also benefits from modern touches, including solar panels that heat the swimming pool.
A true ‘oasis’, Loughan Y Yeigh is accessed via a long, gravelled driveway from Garey Ford, following the peaceful riverbank and evoking the timeless charm of The Wind in the Willows. Within the grounds are summerhouses, greenhouses, and a detached double garage. In total, there are four garages—perfect for vintage car, motorbike, or machinery enthusiasts.
Accommodation includes:
Loggia, five ensuite bedrooms, five reception rooms, kitchen, dining room, conservatory, two-bedroom courtyard cottage, indoor swimming pool, sauna, and changing areas.
To experience the full extent of this remarkable and private property, we invite you to contact our Ramsey Office to arrange a viewing.
