7 bed detached house for sale

Loughan-Y-Yeigh, Lezayre IM7

Deanwood are proud to present Loughan Y Yeigh, a private Manx stone country house of exceptional historic significance.

Beautifully situated close to Ramsey, alongside the Sulby River, and set within tranquil, sparsely populated countryside, Loughan Y Yeigh is a property of rare charm and character. Its name, meaning “small lake of geese” in Manx, reflects its long history, dating back to 1761. The property was later owned by Thomas Corlett (1792–1861), an advocate and Vicar General, who extended the house, creating a model farm of its time. Evidence of this remains in the grand hexagonal sitting room, where original timbers once supported an ox-driven grindstone.

Other thoughtfully retained features include the Bailiff’s House (or Butler’s Cottage), an arched covered carriageway, numerous exposed beams, a striking feature staircase, and the former grain store tower. The buildings form an enclosed courtyard with an attractive carriage entrance. Subsequent additions include a swimming pool, sauna, and changing rooms, reflecting an earlier plan for a country club, while the long sun loggia evokes the elegance of Italian gardens. A practical conservatory adjoining the kitchen and dining area provides a superb space for entertaining.

Accessed via a long gravel driveway from the Garey Ford, following a serene river frontage, the property evokes the charm of The Wind in the Willows. The grounds feature summerhouses, greenhouses, and four garages - ideal for collectors of vintage cars, motorcycles, or machinery.

A truly private and versatile country home, Loughan Y Yeigh offers a unique combination of history, character, and modern amenities. To fully appreciate its privacy, beauty, and enduring appeal, we warmly invite you to arrange a private viewing through our Ramsey Office.
