Take a look inside this massive Manx house that boasts a library, a games room and its own tennis court.

Ballarioghyn, in Santon, is a Georgian-style mansion and an accompanying guest cottage set in 19 acres of grounds, built in 1982 to mimic the grandeur of the 1700s.

With distant sea views, the property has easy access to Douglas and the airport but feels secluded, offering a sense of privacy.

In true Georgian fashion, the mansion boasts multiple reception rooms - a drawing room, a dining room, a breakfast room and a lounge.

In the lounge, mock period features include ornate ceiling cornices, sash windows and a marble fireplace with a matching marble hearth.

The drawing room matches this design, with added French doors leading out to the terrace and garden, while the dining room and breakfast room complement the two main receptions.

Elsewhere on the ground floor, the kitchen has a beamed ceiling with a Victorian-style mosaic floor and a Manx-stone chimney breast.
