The Promenade, Douglas, Isle of Man, IM2 4NN
Location The Isle of Man is a self governing crown dependency located in the Irish Sea, between England and Northern Ireland. Douglas is the capital, located on the east coast and in addition to being the main economic hub is also home to the Isle of Man Government. At the most recent consensus (2011) the island was home to 84,497 people, of whom 27,938 resided in the island's capital. The Isle of Man is a low-tax economy with no capital gains tax, wealth tax, stamp duty, or inheritance tax and a top rate of income tax of 20%.
Asking Price OIEO £1,000,000
The island is well connected with a strong transport network to its immediate neighbours. Located 9 miles south of Douglas, Ronaldsway Airport offers frequent flights to the remainder of the United Kingdom. Douglas is also the principal port with the main sea routes being Douglas to Liverpool, Douglas to Heysham, Douglas to Belfast, and Douglas to Dublin. The Castle Mona is set in a prominent, elevated position, overlooking the sea towards the centre of the Promenade. The Palace Cinema is to the rear with the Palace Hotel and Casino to the east. The principal hotel entrance is accessible from Castle Drive.
The Property
Letting Accommodation
The original Castle Mona building was constructed in 1802 with later additions to the sides which we are advised were built during the 1950’s. The Scottish architect, George Steuart, sourced the stone for the property from the Isle of Arran and it is widely believed his inspiration for the property came from his interest in Scottish castles.
98 en suite bedrooms (approximately 30 in the main building)
The Castle was initially built as a grand residence for the fourth Duke of Athol, and used as a hotel from 1831 onwards.
Parking for approximately 70 vehicles to the front and side.
The principal building is arranged over three storeys with stone elevations under pitched tile and slate roof coverings behind a series of castellated parapets. A feature central turret rises from the roof of the main building. The east extension, of brick construction, extends to four storeys and largely provides guest room accommodation. To the front of this is a further two storey extension which houses the bowling alley and nightclub areas. In the past, the property traded as a hotel and provided 98 bedrooms, a bowling alley and two nightclubs. The operation ceased trading in December 2006.
Basement Extensive storage areas and plant room External Areas
Opportunities The property would suit various alternative uses such as residential development, subject to the necessary consents. Services We understand that the property benefits from all mains services. Tenure Details We are advised the property is held freehold.
