Manx National Heritage’s bid to replace the Grove Museum of Victorian Life’s leaking roof has been approved by planners.
The museum, in Andreas Road, Ramsey, closed to visitors last week – more than a month earlier than usual – to enable the works to take place.
And it is due to reopen on March 27, 2015.
The felt roof will be replaced with lead.
Replacement gutters and rain water down pipes will also be installed.
The museum is the former family home of Liverpool shipping merchant Duncan Gibb, who developed the house as a summer retreat in the mid 19th century.
The Victorian villa later became the family’s permanent residence.
