Richmond House presents a rare opportunity to acquire an attractive and characterful period detached residence, set within approximately 1.25 acres of established grounds just outside the capital of Douglas. Believed to have originated as a historic tavern or inn, the property has since been transformed into a substantial and versatile family home, retaining its distinctive period charm while offering generous accommodation and the considerable advantage of an adjoining self-contained annex. Ideally positioned for convenient access to Douglas and the wider Island, the property is also within a short drive of the south of the Island and Ronaldsway Airport.
The main residence offers spacious and adaptable accommodation, ideally suited to family living. The principal reception areas include a welcoming living room, a separate family room and a dining kitchen, providing a choice of spaces in which to relax, entertain and enjoy everyday life. A conservatory further enhances the ground-floor accommodation, offering an attractive outlook over the surrounding grounds and a lovely place to enjoy the garden setting throughout the seasons.
The main house provides four well-proportioned double bedrooms, together with a family bathroom, making it an excellent proposition for a growing family. A particularly appealing feature is the adjoining two-bedroom annex, which is accessed directly from the main hallway and provides an excellent degree of flexibility. Comprising its own living/dining kitchen, two bedrooms and two bathrooms, the annex offers a degree of independence while remaining connected to the main residence. This arrangement would be ideally suited to multi-generational living, older children or teenagers seeking their own space, or potentially as an additional income opportunity, subject to any necessary consents and regulations.
Externally, Richmond House enjoys a truly special setting, with approximately 1.25 acres of grounds providing a wonderful sense of space, privacy and connection with nature. The property is approached via a gravel parking area, with a detached double garage providing excellent storage and secure parking. There is also an externally accessed basement, offering useful additional storage. Brick-paved patio areas extend around two sides of the house, creating inviting spaces for outdoor relaxation and entertaining.
The grounds are a particular highlight, featuring an established collection of mature trees and shrubs which create a beautiful natural setting and provide an excellent habitat for local wildlife. The combination of the property's historic origins, generous accommodation, adjoining annex and substantial grounds makes Richmond House a distinctive and versatile home, offering an exceptional opportunity for purchasers seeking space, character and flexibility in a convenient location close to Douglas.
