The former Isle of Man Bank building in Port St Mary is on the market for £450,000.

Located at the corner of the High Street and Park Road, the building, address 31 The High Street, is being sold by estate agents DeanWood as a mixed commercial/residential property.

The site first opened as a bank in 1874, but closed its operations around the early 1980s.

It was the first of the bank’s local branches to close.

Since then, a slew of branch closures followed over the decades - Broadway and Prospect Terrace in Douglas, Onchan, Laxey, Kirk Michael and most recently - Castletown and Peel.

Its Regent Street branch also stopped counter service last year, and it now operates as a ’self serve’ branch.

The only three remaining brick and mortar sites which the bank operates are its main branch in Douglas, Ramsey and Peel - leading some to question whether physical banks are still relevant in today’s world of online banking.

It also has a mobile banking van called ’Penny’ which returned to the road with the end of the last circuit breaker lockdown in April.

The former Port St Mary bank building has since been utilised as office space, with the upper floors used for accommodation.

DeanWood described the building, which it last advertised on the market in 2018 for half a million pounds, as having been ’refurbished to a high specification’ over the past six years’.

It still has the same owner, and as far as DeanWood is aware it is not presently occupied.

The first floor includes a four bedroom duplex apartment, three of which have ensuites, and a main bathroom, with a separate bath and shower unit.

The second floor is a large open planning dining area.

The property also has internal garaging for two cars.

The bank building has also featured on screen in the past, having been seen in the 1990 TV film ’Come Home Charlie and Face Them’, where it was robbed.
