Central yet peaceful modern beautifully decorated family home in the stunning Isle of Man
We live in a lovely large three bedroom family home in central Douglas on the beautiful Isle of Man. Our house has been newly decorated. It has a large porch and open plan living area downstairs with an atached kitchen area. It has bi-folding doors which lead out to a beautiful garden that is fairly private for it's location. There are views down towards the sea at the front of the house and from the front upstairs windows too. Upstairs there are three double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Two of the bedrooms have double beds and there are bunkbeds in the third bedroom. The house is less 10 minute walk to the sea front and central douglas. The living area is at the back of the house and overlooks the garden which makes it a peaceful and relaxing setting. There is parking for two to three cars at the front of the house. We have lots of toys for young children. We are across the street from a beautiful square gardens. We are also a couple of minutes walk from the fabulous Nobles Park (the main park in Douglas) . This has two childrens play areas, a cafe and separate restaurant, splash park, maze, BMX, skate park and lots more. It is also home to the famous TT grandstand.

It is very friendly and child friendly and has constantly been rated the safest place in the British Isles.
