Located in the south of the Isle of Man, this generous estate is the result of a substantial redevelopment of an existing main residence, out-buildings and surrounding grounds to create a considered, cohesive whole.
Embodying a classical elegance that draws on Georgian architecture as inspiration, this is a property with a sense of presence utterly befitting of a grand house in the countryside. The design of the property has been sympathetically considered to incorporate architectural detailing seen on existing historic homes on the island. This includes the semi-circular bays with vert-di-gris domed roof details which take in the panoramic sea views afforded by the site along with the double-height bay to the south-east elevation.
The main body of the house reflects a classical architectural style whilst the spa complex is intended to be read as a modern addition to the property. The resultant scheme fulfils the potential of the magnificent site whilst remaining respectful of its location.
