Grenea Cottages is a striking, architect-designed coastal home located right on the seafront at Bay ny Carrickey, enjoying panoramic views across to Port St Mary and South Barrule. Originally two traditional fisherman’s cottages, the property has been creatively reimagined into a spacious and contemporary residence that retains a strong connection to its maritime roots. The name Grenea, meaning “place of sunshine,” is a fitting description for a home that’s filled with natural light and positioned to make the most of its spectacular surroundings.
Designed with reverse-level living to capture the best of the coastal and rural views, the ground floor offers three double bedrooms - all with ensuite bathrooms, one of which has been adapted into a self-contained kitchen. A utility room, wine store, and bar/entertainment area and sauna complete this level, offering plenty of practical space.
Upstairs, the generous open-plan living area is flooded with light thanks to large picture windows and multiple access points to balconies and a sun terrace. It’s the perfect setting for entertaining or unwinding while watching the ever-changing seascape. The kitchen is finished to a high standard, featuring 45 feet of granite worktops, a Mercury range cooker, and Miele integrated appliances.
Externally, the property boasts a low-maintenance beach garden that leads directly to the shoreline - ideal for peaceful coastal living. A separate studio offers flexible use, whether as a guest suite, creative space, or a quiet spot to enjoy the view. Off-road parking is available adjacent to the garage, and the front garden is held on a long lease from the Isle of Man Government for just £40 per year.
Grenea Cottages offers a rare combination of thoughtful design, uninterrupted sea views, and historic charm, making it an ideal full-time residence or a luxurious island retreat.
