Black Grace Cowley are delighted to bring Foghorn Cottage to the market — a truly unique detached coastal cottage set in a landmark position on Douglas Head, next to the historic Douglas Lighthouse. Rarely does an opportunity arise to acquire a property of this character and prominence, offering not only exceptional views but also a strong sense of place and heritage.
Occupying a generous plot enclosed by a traditional stone wall, the property enjoys an elevated front terrace with commanding, uninterrupted views across Douglas Bay — a striking outlook that perfectly reflects the cottage’s maritime setting. This terrace provides a natural focal point for the home, ideal for relaxing or entertaining while taking in the ever-changing coastal scenery.
The accommodation begins with a porch leading into the entrance hall. To the front of the property is a well-proportioned lounge, rich in character, featuring an inglenook fireplace with log burner and views towards the bay. A door leads through to the impressive 26ft kitchen diner, offering excellent space for modern living. The kitchen is fitted with a range of base, wall and drawer units, built-in eye-level oven, ceramic hob, gas single hob, and an American-style fridge freezer — making it both practical and sociable.
Adjoining the kitchen is a substantial 18ft store, accessed via a connecting door from the kitchen and double doors to the front. This space presents an exciting opportunity for further development or additional living accommodation, subject to local planning and building regulations, enhancing the long-term potential of the property.
The cottage offers three generous double bedrooms, one positioned to the front and two to the rear, along with a family bathroom fitted with a bath and shower over, wash hand basin and WC.
Externally, the property benefits from the front terrace and a rear garden, providing outdoor space in a highly sought-after coastal setting. Please note that Douglas Lighthouse Cottage has a right of access across the front terrace, reflecting the shared heritage of this distinctive location.
Foghorn Cottage represents a rare and compelling opportunity, further enhanced by its registered tourist accommodation status, making it ideal as a lifestyle purchase, holiday home, or income-generating investment.
Access is pedestrian only, via Douglas Head Road or South Quay, reinforcing the property’s sense of seclusion and retreat.
Additional benefits include uPVC double glazing throughout.
