- Location
- Seaforde is an established County Down village situated on the A24, the principal road connecting Belfast and Ballynahinch with Clough, Dundrum and Newcastle. The village lies approximately one mile north of Clough and occupies a convenient position within the central County Down road network. The A24 provides direct access northwards towards Ballynahinch, Carryduff and Belfast and southwards towards Newcastle and the Mourne area. Downpatrick is approximately 6 miles from Seaforde and is readily accessible through Clough and the surrounding local road network. Newcastle, Ballynahinch, Saintfield and the wider Lecale area are also within convenient travelling distance. The location therefore provides good connectivity to the principal settlements, agricultural businesses and service centres throughout central and south County Down. The lands occupy a particularly prominent position on the immediate edge of Seaforde, between Newcastle Road and Manse Road. They adjoin the established residential area at Forde Gardens and surrounding housing, while Newcastle Road forms the eastern frontage of the southern portion of the holding. The northern part of the holding extends towards Manse Road. Unlike a more isolated rural holding, the lands have a direct physical relationship with the existing built-up area of Seaforde. They are situated immediately adjoining the defined settlement limit and established residential development. This provides the property with a strategically notable position, while the lands remain outside the settlement limit and in agricultural use at present. The holding’s compact configuration, road frontage and proximity to the village should make it attractive to agricultural purchasers, adjoining landowners and longer-term strategic investors.

- Planning Context
- The lands are presently situated outside the defined Seaforde settlement limit and are offered for sale in their existing agricultural condition. There are currently no planning approvals or live planning applications for residential or other development on the lands. The holding does, however, occupy a strategically notable position immediately adjoining the existing settlement limit and established residential development at Forde Gardens. This relationship may be of interest to purchasers considering the longer-term potential of the lands, including possible consideration through a future review of the settlement boundary. The lands benefit from the presence of existing infrastructure. The principal foul and stormwater sewers serving the locality run across the holding, overhead electricity infrastructure crosses the lands, and a water supply is currently available for agricultural purposes. The precise routes, capacities, connection rights and suitability of these services for any future use have not been verified by the selling agent. Prospective purchasers should undertake their own investigations with the relevant statutory authorities and through their legal and professional advisers. The existing settlement limit and relevant planning designations are illustrated on the accompanying extract from the Ards and Down Area Plan 2015, Map No. 3/040a. The map also identifies Local Landscape Policy Areas affecting the wider surroundings of Seaforde and identifies Newcastle Road as a protected route. These designations, together with access, infrastructure capacity, landscape, drainage and environmental considerations, would be relevant to the assessment of any future development proposal. Any development, connection to the existing infrastructure or alternative use would be subject to obtaining all necessary statutory consents and would be assessed against the planning policies prevailing at the relevant time. No representation or warranty is made by the vendor or the selling agent regarding the precise position, condition, capacity or availability of the infrastructure identified above, or that the settlement limit will be extended, the lands allocated for development, or planning permission granted for any particular use.
