Brookfield House is a substantial stone built period residence offering approximately 3,000 sq ft of accommodation, together with a historic farmyard, the remains of a two storey barn and approximately 41 acres of surrounding hill land.
Situated in Foxdale, the property enjoys a central Island location with convenient access to Douglas, Peel, Castletown and the surrounding countryside.
The house requires comprehensive renovation, yet beneath its present condition lies a property of genuine architectural character and considerable potential. Its handsome stone elevations sit beneath a renewed slate roof, providing an excellent starting point for a purchaser seeking to restore an important period home.
Internally, the accommodation is generously proportioned and includes three reception rooms, a kitchen, boot room and utility. The first floor provides four bedrooms and a family bathroom, while three large attic rooms offer valuable additional space and flexibility.
A particular strength of Brookfield House is the quality of its surviving period craftsmanship. Decorative plasterwork, deep cornicing, original joinery, panelled doors, leaded glazing, built in cabinetry and carved fireplaces reflect an attention to detail that would be difficult and costly to recreate today.
The house now requires a sensitive programme of restoration, allowing a new owner to retain these historic elements while introducing the comfort, efficiency and functionality expected of a modern family home.
Farmyard and Barn
Behind the house is a historic farmyard containing the substantial remains of a traditional two storey stone barn, extending to approximately 2,000 sq ft.
The surviving stonework and scale of the building offer considerable potential for restoration, conversion or adaptation, subject to the necessary planning and building control consents.
The farmyard also provides extensive space for vehicles, machinery and equipment, together with potential for the construction of garages, workshops, agricultural buildings or storage facilities, subject to the required consents.
Land
Approximately 41 acres of hill land accompany the property, extending across the slopes above Foxdale and enjoying broad views over the surrounding countryside.
The land may be suitable for grazing sheep or other agricultural and recreational uses, subject to its condition and any necessary permissions.
Together, the house, farmyard, barn and land create an increasingly rare lifestyle opportunity for anyone seeking space, heritage and the freedom to shape a distinctive rural property in a central Island location.
