An exquisite period residence dating back to the early 1800s, this property is nestled in an enchanting parkland-style setting, seamlessly blending timeless elegance with modern comforts. Located in the sought-after ancient capital of Mann, Castletown, it offers a rare combination of convenient urban living, the privacy of a rural country setting, and proximity to scenic coastal walks.
Sympathetically modernised to retain its original character, the house features underfloor heating on the lower level and traditional cast-iron radiators on the upper level. Most rooms retain their original wooden shutters, adding to the home's exceptional charm. Its design caters perfectly to the needs of a growing family and those who enjoy entertaining.
Five elegant reception rooms include a sitting room, living room, library/study, dining room, and a spectacular family room. The family room boasts a vaulted oak ceiling with skylights and a custom-built fireplace framed by local Earystane stone with a double log burner. This room has separate double-door access for entertaining and connects to the main house through an orangery-style walkway with inset wall lights. Period fireplaces in all rooms except the library add warmth and character.
At the heart of the home is a traditional-style Loxley dining kitchen, complete with a two-oven Aga and a matching Aga console featuring a four-burner gas hob and two electric ovens. A spacious walk-in pantry enhances its practicality.
The utility/boot room includes a WC, a personnel door to the double garage, and a stable door leading to the rear cobblestone courtyard, offering added convenience.
The principal bedroom suite serves as a luxurious retreat, complete with a dressing room featuring heated closets and a custom-built en-suite bathroom with a red cedar infrared sauna. Four additional double bedrooms, three with en-suite bathrooms, provide ample space for family and guests.
The magnificent grounds span to approximately 1.25 acres and include formal lawns and a charming wild garden area, offering plenty of space for outdoor enjoyment and exploration.
