5 bed detached house for sale

Ballelby House, Dalby Road, Dalby IM5

A rare opportunity to acquire a magnificent coastal residence in one of the Isle of Man’s most desirable locations, perfectly combining an exceptional coastal lifestyle with unrivalled sea views across the western coastline.

Ballelby House is where the sky melts into the sea and time gently slows down...

Occupying a remarkable coastal position, Ballelby House enjoys a truly privileged front-row seat to Mother Nature, with breathtaking panoramic views stretching across the western coastline. From the first light breaking across the bay and long summer evenings reflected on the water, to dramatic autumn skies and the captivating spectacle of winter weather moving across the coastline, the outlook is constantly changing.

Every season brings a different character, a different light and a new perspective. And as evening approaches, the house enjoys a spectacular vantage point for some of the West’s most breathtaking sunsets, as the setting sun transforms the sky and sea into a constantly changing canvas. Here, the scenery is not simply something to admire - it becomes part of everyday life.

Set within a peaceful and highly desirable coastal setting, beautiful coastal walks are directly on the doorstep, while the picturesque town of Peel is just a short and scenic drive away.

Originally built in 1863 as a Methodist church, the building was thoughtfully converted into a private residence during the 1970s, retaining a wonderful sense of character and history that continues to define the property today.

The welcoming double-height entrance hall creates an immediate sense of space and grandeur and leads naturally into the impressive dining kitchen, which incorporates a generous open-plan lounge area. This wonderful space forms the heart of the home, providing an inviting setting for cooking, dining, relaxing and entertaining, while allowing the coastal surroundings to remain very much part of the experience.

The ground floor also offers a comfortable family room, complete with a stove providing a wonderfully cosy retreat - the perfect place to settle in beside the fire after a day exploring the coastline. A bright sunroom provides another peaceful space in which to relax and enjoy the ever-changing views.

An additional first-floor living room is a particularly characterful space, featuring a striking vaulted ceiling with original exposed beams, adding warmth, charm and a wonderful sense of history.

The accommodation is extremely adaptable, capable of evolving to suit a wide variety of lifestyles, from family living and multi-generational arrangements to accommodating guests. There are two ground-floor bedrooms and three further first-floor bedrooms, two of which benefit from en-suite facilities.

Of particular note, Bedroom two is accessed via its own staircase, creating a valuable degree of independence from the main accommodation. This makes it an ideal space for guests, older children or family members who would appreciate a little additional privacy while remaining within the home.

A ground-floor bathroom and separate utility room provide further practicality.

Externally, Ballelby House occupies a magnificent and substantial plot, with beautifully tiered lawned gardens and terraces providing a variety of spaces in which to relax, entertain and take in the extraordinary coastal panorama. Whether enjoying the morning light, watching the changing weather roll across the sea or simply waiting for another spectacular western sunset, the gardens provide a remarkable connection with the landscape.

A private driveway provides excellent off-road parking and leads to a detached garage block comprising a double garage, single garage and additional storage, offering generous provision for vehicles, hobbies and equipment. The front store room would make a superb hobbies room ideal for some creative or arty or alternatively this space could be used as a garden room.

Ballelby House is much more than a beautiful coastal home. It is a rare opportunity to embrace a lifestyle shaped by the sea, landscape and changing light - a place of spectacular views, unforgettable sunsets, cosy evenings by the fire and beautifully adaptable accommodation, all in an enviable coastal setting.
