Dean Wood are proud to bring to the market Folieu, a unique and striking detached seaside villa, which sits grandly off a sweeping driveway, amongst 3 acres of mature gardens and woodland.
Nestled in a commanding position, at the edge of Port Lewaigue, Folieu was mentioned in Kneale’s Guide published in 1860, highlighting its importance. From the Veranda and many of the sash windows the ‘capacious bay of Ramsey’ as it is described, draws the eye away from the surrounding gardens, creating a real sense of decadence. At the bottom of the garden is the Manx Electric Railway.
Over the years the property has been sympathetically extended and modernised, with the latest technology and standard of interior design, further enhancing the period features; to bring about an excellent standard of accommodation.
The property comprises: 3 spacious reception rooms, large Kitchen/Family dining Room being the nexus of the house, 5 large ensuite bedrooms, 2 of which are being used as a Cinema Room and a Study. Furthermore, there is a newly installed Utility on the first floor.
In addition to the main house there is a separate attractive Manx stone converted annex, with an open plan living/kitchenette and bedroom room on the first floor with a bathroom/WC on the ground floor. Appealingly for many, there is also a garage/workshop plus large store.
Accessed from the Ramsey to Laxey Road to the North, and a lane from the M.E.R. Bellevue stop, the property enjoys a very private and sheltered setting for any purchaser yet is only minutes from Ramsey town centre.
Since purchasing the property, the vendors have put in a range of new bathroom suites, a new utility room, in addition to having undertaken much work in the grounds. Planning is approved for a double garage under application ref:- 19/01181/B and for the enclosure of the covered terrace Ref:-22/00141/B.
