Dating back to 1849, Ravenscliffe is a landmark Victorian residence and one of the earliest grand mansion homes established in Douglas. Set dramatically above the coastline, the property occupies a commanding cliff-top position with far-reaching views across Douglas Bay, the harbour entrance and the Tower of Refuge, with the Manx hills and distant Lake District forming a striking backdrop. The estate is enclosed by substantial stone walls, creating a rare sense of seclusion so close to the town. Entry is gained through electric wrought-iron gates leading to a broad macadam driveway, which curves around a central water feature providing ample parking and turning space. Elevated within the grounds is a south-facing heated outdoor swimming pool, accompanied by paved terraces, designated entertaining areas, landscaped lawns, pergola and decking. Garaging accommodates up to five vehicles and includes an electric vehicle charging point. Inside, the house showcases the craftsmanship of its era, with notable original features throughout. These include impressive ceiling heights, elaborately detailed cornicing and ceiling roses, parquet flooring, marble fireplaces and substantial skirting boards. The main reception rooms are positioned to maximise the coastal outlook, offering uninterrupted views across the bay and beyond. Formerly the servants’ accommodation, Ravenscliffe Lodge is connected to the main residence while remaining independently accessible, providing flexible self-contained living suitable for guests, extended family or ancillary use. Recognised by the Isle of Man Government for its architectural and historic significance, Ravenscliffe is a registered building of distinction and represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of Douglas’s most important period homes.
From the Sea Terminal, follow Bath Place and across the lifting bridge over the harbour. Turn right along the South Quay and take the first left up Fort Anne Road. Ravenscliffe can be found a short distance on the left hand side.
