Welcome to Beach Lawn House &
the Ismay Suites
Welcome to the Beach Lawn House, the beautiful Mansion house that was originally built in 1860 for Mr Thomas Henry Ismay founder of the Oceanic Steam Navigation Company, more commonly known as the White Star Line.
He purchased the property for only £2,500 on the 27th Dec 1860. The original deeds showing his signature can be seen in the hallway of the main house.
ALL Crews of White Star ships sailing from Liverpool saluted the house as they sailed past it on the River Mersey.
Beach Lawn House was the childhood home for Joseph Bruce Ismay (Bruce) his eldest son, who eventually went on to become the Chairman and Managing Director of the White Star Line. After commissioning the build of RMS Titanic, in 1912, he came to international attention as the highest-ranking White Star official to survive the sinking of the ship for which he was subject to severe criticism.

Beach Lawn House has been in private ownership since it was sold by Thomas Henry Ismay in 1882 so anyone interested in the house and its history could previously only view the house from the road side, and since August 1972 view the English Heritage blue Plaque from the road side. Now under new ownership since August 2022 the house is for the first time finally open to the public. Whether you are relocating and looking for a property to call home, for accommodation whilst travelling on business, planning a luxurious family holiday, or simply fascinated by the history of the house.
