The estate, which includes a small river that spills down through the grounds along the northern border and the remains of two Manx stone cottages, also known as ‘Tholtans’, extends to 22 acres, comprising eight fields and illuminated formal gardens of approximately two acres. Leading from the principal reception rooms are extensive raised and flagged terraced areas bordered by bespoke wrought iron balustrading. The broad sweep of terrace to the rear of the property offers a breathtaking panorama of uninterrupted views of unspoilt countryside and stunning vistas towards Maughold and Ramsey Bay.
The gardens surround the property on all sides and are laid principally to lawn, with Manx Stone raised terraces, flower beds, wildflower borders and an oak-framed, welsh slate roofed gazebo for al fresco dining. A courtyard is enclosed by the property on 3 sides. The whole drive was rebuilt in 2016 with resin surfacing. There is an oak-framed 4 car bay garage with up and over doors – rebuilt in 2018. In addition, a new oak framed
tractor/machinery shed was also added in 2019. A small garden pavilion can be found on the upper terrace at the back of the house for BBQ storage, garden chairs etc.
