Brief History
The area was part of the estate of the Stevensons of Balladoole back in the early 1600’s. The original house on the site was previously passed to Alice Stevenson in her husband’s will, and subsequently to her daughter Margaret who was married to Rev. John Quayle, Vicar of Malew (1739-1758). The house was passed onto their son William Quayle, a Deemster and High Bailiff of Douglas, followed by his son Mark. Mark’s son, William, later demolished the original property, and built a pair of capital dwelling houses for the letting market. Unfortunately for William, the Coroner auctioned the property in 1858 to Samuel Doyle for £250. In 1864 the Coroner again auctioned the property from Samuel Doyle to Flaxney Stowell for £150. The house was always let and passed through five generations of the Stowell family before one resided there and then sold it in 1987. There have been three subsequent owners.
