Hillsdene, Quarterbridge Road, Douglas, IM2 3RF

Hillsdene is an iconic and beautifully presented period detached family home, dating from circa 1898 and standing proudly within a private and mature plot.

This handsome period residence occupies a highly sought-after leafy setting.

Surrounded by mature, predominantly south-facing wrap-around gardens, Hillsdene offers a rare blend of elegance, privacy, generous family accommodation and exceptional versatility, all within easy reach of local schools, and Douglas city centre.

The property has undergone some modernisation during 2025, carefully marrying its charming original features with modern fixtures and fittings.

The works include a new dining kitchen with an insulated rood to the extension, newly created utility room, new oil boiler and hot water tank, two new log burners installed within the principal front reception rooms, creation of an en-suite shower room in bedroom two, together with re-plastering works and re-decoration throughout.

The result is a characterful home that retains its sense of history whilst providing the comfort and finish expected of a modern family residence.

A grand reception hall provides an impressive introduction to the property and leads to three elegant reception rooms, each offering its own character and versatility.

Two of these rooms benefit from newly installed log burners, creating wonderfully inviting spaces for cosy family gatherings, entertaining guests or relaxing on winter evenings.

The generous proportions, period detailing and quality presentation throughout give these rooms a timeless sense of occasion. The heart of the home is the newly fitted large dining kitchen.

A island unit forms a natural focal point, while the adjoining matching utility room and separate boiler room provide excellent everyday practicality.

The layout is perfectly suited to modern family life, combining cooking, dining and informal living in one superbly connected environment.

The principal accommodation includes four superb double bedrooms, together with a fitted dressing room and a newly created en-suite shower room.

The fourth bedroom benefits from access to the family bathroom, creating a particularly useful semi-en-suite arrangement.

Further versatility is provided by an attic hobbies room/occasional bedroom which also provides access to an extensive boarded loft.

One of Hillsdenes' features is the detached one-bedroom annex/apartment, providing an exceptional degree of flexibility.

Whether required for multi-generational living, independent accommodation for family members, a private guest suite, home-working space or potentially an additional income stream, this self-contained accommodation significantly broadens the appeal and offers a level of adaptability that is increasingly sought after.

The grounds are equally impressive. A gated entrance opens onto a sweeping driveway providing extensive off-road parking leading to the detached double garage and attached garden store.

The property is surrounded by mature south-facing wrap-around gardens, creating a wonderfully private and established setting with generous lawned areas and an abundance of mature planting.
