House For Sale £1,750,000
Corris’s Croft stands within beautifully landscaped grounds of around 6 acres only a couple of miles from the Isle of Man’s second largest town, Ramsey. Ramsey is in the island’s sunniest area with relatively low rainfall. It lies in a 'rain shadow' just to the north of the Manx hills, on the edge of the northern plain of the island. Rain clouds coming from the prevailing south-westerlies tend to lose most of their moisture on the hills before they reach the town.
To the north of Ramsey the beaches run continuously to the north tip of the island. On the southern edge of the town, at the edge of the hills, are a network of woods and glens: Ballure Walk, Lhergy Frissel and Elfin Glen. The Millennium Way and other paths and roads lead up to and across the upland heath ('the tops' and 'the hills'), clearly seen from Corris Croft.
The town has two bakeries, a wide range of independent shops, including traditional butcher, baker, and a Shoprite supermarket stocking many Waitrose lines. There are numerous pubs and cafes, and a Farmers Market every Saturday. The world’s most famous motorcycle race circuit, ‘The Mountain Course’ of the tt, passes through the town with Parliament Square and The Hairpin being popular viewing spots.
The town has a full range of sporting clubs including a rugby club, a football club, a hockey team, a Gaelic football team, Ramsey Ravens swimming team and a golf club. There is an active sailing club, the Manx Sailing and Cruising Club, which promotes an annual Round the Island sailing race as well as regularly scheduled dinghy and cruiser races.
Ramsey Angling Club holds regular sea angling competitions. Ramsey has two modern junior schools, Ramsey Grammar School, and in the private sector, The Buchan School and King William's College in Castletown.
The property has a wonderful south facing vista to the rear towards the wooded hills and extensive terraces for alfresco entertaining. With mainly rendered elevations combined with traditional Manx stone this is an extremely attractive property which sits comfortably in its delightful rural setting. Equally well suited as a family house or for entertaining the accommodation has self contained staff accommodation or a studio/office in addition to an integral two bedroomed guest wing with a living kitchen/dining room and a principal bedroom with glorious views.
