Brief History
The area was part of the estate of the Stevensons of Balladoole back in the early 1600s. The original house on the site was previously passed to Alice Stevenson in her husbands will, and subsequently to her daughter Margaret who was married to Rev. John Quayle, Vicar of Malew (1739-1758). The house was passed onto their son William Quayle, a Deemster and High Bailiff of Douglas, followed by his son Mark. Marks son, William, later demolished the original property, and built a pair of capital dwelling houses for the letting market. Unfortunately for William, the Coroner auctioned the property in 1858 to Samuel Doyle for 250. In 1864 the Coroner again auctioned the property from Samuel Doyle to Flaxney Stowell for 150. The house was always let and passed through five generations of the Stowell family before one resided there and then sold it in 1987. There have been three subsequent owners.

Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s

The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
