New tenant for former police station

Marlinspike Properties Limited to take over Castletown site

A former police station in Castletown will be repaired and refurbished.

Manx National Heritage has confirmed it's secured a new tenant for the building designed by architect Baillie Scott.

Marlinspike Properties Limited successfully bid for the site following a tender process at the end of last year.

Subject to planning approval the building will also include space for community use in the future.

MNH Director Edmund Southworth says: “MNH is pleased to confirm that we have been able to identify a prospective tenant for the building. 

“The planned development in Castletown will provide a positive social and economic benefit to the town with the additional benefit of substantial investment in essential repairs to the roof and the removal of non-historic internal additions.
