19-21 Demesne Road, Seaforde, Co. Down
LOCATION
Seaforde is a picturesque small village in County Down approximately one mile north of Clough on the
main Ballynahinch to Newcastle road approx 25 miles from Belfast. The village is centred around the
Parish Church and the Demesne of Seaforde House which is home to the popular tourist attraction of
Seaforde Tropical Butterfly House and Gardens and within which the subject property lies.
19-21 Demesne Road, Seaforde is situated along the western boundary of the Historic Park Demesne of
Seaforde House approximately half a mile from the village.
DESCRIPTION
The property comprises a gate lodge, former Coachhouse with courtyard and adjoining agricultural
buildings situated on lands extending to approximately 9.83 Acres (3.98 Hectares).
The single storey gatelodge, No. 19 Demesne Road, built in the 1860’s is of traditional construction with
a pitch slate roof and wooden frame single glazed windows.
No. 21 Demesne Road is a two storey former Coachhouse constructed in c.1859, of traditional stone
construction with a pitched slate roof leading to a large courtyard complex. Both properties are currently
listed.
Although both No. 19 and No. 21 are in a state of disrepair, the unique nature and character of the
properties provides a rare redevelopment opportunity, subject to planning.
PLANNING
The property is situated outside of the settlement limit for Seaforde within the Ards and Down Area Plan
2015 but also falls within the Local Landscape Policy Area of Seaforde House Historic Park, Garden and
Demesne.
The property has been subject to a number of planning applications as detailed below:
·
Outline Planning Permission (R/2003/0118/0) was granted on 27th September 2003 for change of use
of the existing farmhouse and outbuildings at No. 21 to 13 no. dwellings. No subsequent reserved
matters application was submitted and the approval expired on 2005.
·
Full Planning Permission (R/2006/0341/F) was granted on the 11th April 2008 for “Alterations to the
existing entrance gates, restoration and change of use of lower farm, courtyard and rear buildings to
provide 12 dwellings. Redevelopment and change of use of the outbuildings to create 4 courtyard
dwellings and 1 new dwelling added to the rear range”. This permission expired in April 2013.
All interested parties are advised to make their own further enquiries to the Planning Service.
TITLE
We are advised that the property is held freehold.
The previous land transfer contained an obligation on the purchaser to create a 5 m wide agricultural
access lane, a new hedge/fencing to separate the adjoining agricultural lands from the subject site. This
obligation will pass in title to the resultant purchaser.
