Lilleo Farmhouse, Abbeylands Estate, Douglas IM4

This modern detached country residence sits within magnificent wrap-around gardens and approximately seven acres of private fields and paddocks, offering an exceptional lifestyle for families seeking space, privacy and a deep connection to the countryside. Its idyllic south-facing setting captures uninterrupted rural views while remaining conveniently placed on the edge of Douglas, creating a rare balance of tranquillity and accessibility.

Built in 2010 to a high standard with quality fixtures and fittings throughout, the home welcomes you with a grand reception hall leading to elegant living and dining spaces, a dedicated study and a superb dining kitchen that flows into a cosy lounge area centred around a feature wood-burning stove. The ground floor also benefits from a versatile guest bedroom suite or family room, a shower room, a gym, a utility room, and a boot/plant room, ensuring the home functions effortlessly for busy family life.

The first floor enjoys a spacious, light-filled landing with an open study space and leads to the principal bedroom suite, complete with its own balcony, dressing room and en-suite. Four further bedrooms, two with private en-suites, and a family bathroom complete this level. The second floor provides two generous attic bedrooms, along with a large storage room.

The grounds are a defining feature, with extensive lawns, large paved patio areas perfect for outdoor entertaining and a charming log cabin with power connected. Equestrian facilities are well catered for with two stables, three field shelters, a timber stable currently used as a garden store and superb grazing across the surrounding paddocks with water to each field supplied by auto-fill water troughs. A garage with mezzanine storage adds further practicality.

An imposing pillared entrance with gates opens to an expansive block-paved driveway, setting the tone for the privacy and scale that follow. Planning permission granted in July 2023 enhances the flexibility of the property even further, allowing for a single-storey extension incorporating a two-car garage and a beautifully designed one-bedroom annex with open-plan living. Additional stables can also be added, and the first and second floors within the main house have approved re-configuration options, including the creation of a larger principal suite and a new shower room on the top floor.
