Black Grace Cowley are delighted to bring to the market 3-5 Douglas street, hidden behind an unassuming façade, and nestled within the quaint streets of historic Old Peel, lies a home of exceptional character, space and versatility. Offering a rare sense of seclusion just minutes from the picturesque harbour, sandy beach and vibrant cafés, bars and restaurants, this remarkable residence is a true hidden retreat, where privacy and tranquillity meet the convenience of coastal living. Beautifully designed for both family life and entertaining, the accommodation unfolds from an inviting reception hallway off Douglas Street into a cosy lounge with steps leading to an impressive open-plan dining kitchen, creating the heart of the home. The modern U-shaped kitchen has a wide range of base and wall units with an extended breakfast bar, perfect for family breakfasts. Integrated dishwasher, double oven, fridge freezer, contrasting work surfaces and stunning stone flooring tiles complete this very practical space. The thoughtfully planned utility room off the kitchen provides functional storage and a walk-in larder ensuring everyday appliances are tucked away out of sight. The Gas boiler and hot water tank are also located within the utility space. French doors off the dining area open out into the stunning courtyard garden.
The principal suite on the 2nd floor provides a luxurious escape, with its striking vaulted ceiling creating an impressive sense of volume and light. The generous en-suite with claw-foot bath, sink, WC and bidet provides a spacious and relaxing room in which to unwind. Three further generously proportioned double bedrooms each enjoy their own beautifully appointed en-suite bathroom, offering comfort and independence for family and visiting guests alike.
The outdoor spaces have been created with relaxation in mind, walking from the kitchen into the beautiful courtyard garden that has been lovingly nurtured with a wide selection of trees, shrubs and flowers attracting birdsong and busy bees. The delightful garden room flows seamlessly onto a covered veranda, providing an idyllic setting to unwind, entertain friends or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings throughout the seasons. A door from the veranda leads into a detached studio/annex, complete with a separate storage room, presenting endless possibilities, whether as guest accommodation, a creative studio, an inspiring home office or a private space for multi-generational living.
The annex provides access to a substantial workshop/garage and the rare advantage of two private off-road parking spaces, an invaluable asset within the sought-after heart of Old Peel. Properties of this calibre, offering such a unique combination of privacy, generous accommodation and an enviable location, are seldom available. More than simply a house, this is a lifestyle opportunity: a peaceful sanctuary where timeless character and contemporary family living come together in one of the Isle of Man’s most treasured coastal settings.
The property is currently registered with a commercial unit that front faces onto Douglas Street with a kitchenette, disabled toilet and storage room. A planning application has been submitted for Change of Use to Residential.
