Situated on the edge of the picturesque village of Seaforde, 2 Coach Horse Lane is a truly exceptional home, rich in history and full of character. Originally constructed as a traditional stone mill, the building was later converted into stables serving the horses on the historic Belfast to Dublin stagecoach route, giving the property a fascinating heritage that spans generations..

Thoughtfully and sympathetically redeveloped in the early 2000s, the property successfully marries its historic origins with the comforts of modern living. Many of the original stone features and architectural details have been carefully preserved, maintaining the authenticity and charm of the building while creating a warm, practical and energy-efficient family home. In 2023, the present owners lovingly refurbished this cottage to a high standard while retaining many original features and its character throughout.

Today, the property offers an enviable blend of period character and contemporary convenience, all within a peaceful countryside setting just moments from the heart of Seaforde. Renowned for its scenic surroundings, historic estate and strong sense of community, the village provides an idyllic backdrop for this one-of-a-kind residence..
