DOWNSIZER interest in No 14 Douglas Close is highly likely given its convenience to Douglas village and its low maintenance nature – oh and the fact that it’s within a gated development, offering a sense of security.

The three-storey home is proving popular – for all of the above reasons – and is already under offer at the asking price of €555,000, on just the second batch of viewings.

At 147 sq m, it’s a good size for a three-bed, and previous owners took advantage of its end-of-terrace status by adding a sunroom to the side with sliding door to the paved rear, and a vaulted ceiling and a couple of roof lights, giving it an edge on the neighbours.

 Also on the ground floor is a large dining room with south-facing doors, a kitchen, utility and guest WC.

 A sitting room on the middle floor runs the width of the house, and there’s an ensuite bedroom at this level too, with walk-in wardrobe. There are two more double bedrooms and a bathroom overhead.

Selling No 14 is Stuart O’Grady of Sherry FitzGerald and he says it’s “more or less turnkey”.

VERDICT: Downsizers and first time buyers are in the mix. No 14 has the bonus of a sunroom.
