Hollyhill comes with options

EXTEND, alter or just enjoy — all the options are there at Hollyhill, a 30-year-old bungalow on a half acre site on the edge of Douglas with Hamilton Osborne King.

And, though it is almost a crime to even suggest this given its existing good condition it might even be a knocking job for some aspirational new owners given the excellent location on Carr's Hill, site size and the value of individual house sites in the vicinity.

Case in point is the sale going through of a site nearby for one house beside the former Douglas rectory, sale-agreed within days of going on the market with Woodwards: it made a likely €700,000, around its price guide and has planning for one house of over 2,500 sq ft on a mature site overlooking Douglas.
