Nestled on the picturesque east coast of the Isle of Man, Crogga is a property unlike any other, a historic estate brimming with character, charm, and potential. Estimated to have been built in the mid-19th century by the Quayle Family and once home to the celebrated romantic novelist Charlotte Lamb, this is more than just a house; it’s a living piece of the Island’s heritage.

Set within approximately 12 acres of enchanting grounds, Crogga offers a lifestyle as rare as the property itself. A sweeping driveway leads you to this stately residence, which enjoys an elevated position with some of the most breathtaking panoramic sea views on the Isle of Man, spanning the surrounding coastline and beyond. These exceptional vistas create an unrivalled sense of tranquillity and natural beauty, making Crogga a truly unique retreat.

The estate’s grounds are a haven of beauty, featuring formal lawned gardens, a serene boating lake, and woodland walks that trace the path of the meandering Crogga River, flowing gracefully through the Glen towards the sea. Adding to its uniqueness, the Isle of Man Steam Railway, a vital thread in the Island’s history since 1874, passes through the estate. In days gone by, Crogga’s privileged custodians enjoyed their very own station, offering a unique commute to Douglas and the Island’s Parliament. Today, the sense of legacy continues with the Crogga Valley Miniature Railway, a delightful feature built by the current owner and steam railway enthusiasts.

The house itself is an architectural gem, bearing hallmarks of Scottish Baronial design, and retains many of its original features and would benefit from thoughtful modernisation.
