An upstairs living room always carries an extra helping of 'do not disturb' doesn't it? And there's plenty of that going around at this Douglas three-storey townhouse.

No 10 Douglas Close, at the heart of Douglas village, has an upstairs living room that cushions you from the hustle and bustle. It’s also within a small gated development designed by architect Roddy Hogan. And the street outside is one-way.

This three-bed, 156sq m, terraced house has a kitchen at the front and dining area behind. The sunken living room leads out to the south-facing back garden.

Upstairs, you’ve got the main living room, which is entered via double doors, spans the full-width of the house, and has two windows and an ornate fireplace.

The main bedroom, which is en-suite, is across the landing from this room. And on the third level are two more double bedrooms. Previously rented, this €575k property is now ready for new owners.

“You’ve got good storage space here with a utility room and a store room and that huge sitting room is just lovely,” says Sean McCarthy, of ERA Downey McCarthy.

Viewers are coming from all sectors including first-time-buyers, people keen to trade down to somewhere secure and very handy for all that Douglas has to offer, and investors too.

VERDICT: Urban convenience with plenty of space in a gated complex.
