The Oaks, 23 Ballaquark, Douglas
Description
Tucked away on a private corner plot within the ever-popular Ballaquark estate, this beautifully extended three-bedroom semi-detached home combines spacious family living with a superb sense of privacy and style. The property occupies an enviable position with mature lawned gardens, countryside views, and a sweeping driveway leading to an attached garage, offering both practicality and presence. The highlight of this home is its impressive rear extension – a stunning open-plan living, kitchen and dining space flowing directly from the family room. With a vaulted ceiling, bifold doors, and abundant natural light, it creates a perfect setting for family gatherings and entertaining, opening seamlessly onto the patio and rear garden. The garden enjoys an open outlook across to the countryside, providing a tranquil backdrop and a real feeling of space. Inside, the accommodation is generous and versatile, offering two / three reception rooms in addition to the extension, ideal for use as a lounge, dining room (or fourth bedroom) or playroom. A separate utility room provides convenience and extra storage, complementing the practical layout. Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms served by a newly fitted family bathroom featuring contemporary fixtures and finishes. Externally, the private corner plot is surrounded by mature gardens with established planting and a large lawned area, offering plenty of room for outdoor living. The sweeping driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to an attached garage, completing the home’s well-balanced layout. 23 Ballaquark is a rare find – a thoughtfully extended, well-presented home that combines flexibility, privacy, and modern comfort in one of Douglas’s most desirable residential areas.
