Savills are delighted to present number 2 Carr's Hill, Douglas a stunning former Rectory sitting proudly on an ultra-private site overlooking Douglas village. This beautiful period property was painstakingly renovated and refurbished between 2002 and 2005. The result is a hugely impressive Georgian period property with a well thought out balance of modern conveniences such as new plumbing, wiring, roof and original features such as high ceilings, staircase and AGA range which was fully reconditioned. Upon entering the private enclave located just off the Douglas end of Carr's Hill, you are guided into the property's gravel driveway which provides ample parking. Making your way over the threshold, you are immediately greeted by original high ceilings, cornicing and bevelled marble tiling on the floor, this combination of original features and sympathetic renovation finishes set the tone for the approach that was taken to the tasteful renovation carried out throughout the property.

While upstairs there are 6 bedrooms one of which is en-suite, laundry room, dressing room, bathroom and WC.
