Royal Hillsborough is one of the prettiest villages in Northern Ireland, with its Georgian streets, the castle and a lot of fine country houses round about. Gates here need to look the part – and fit in with the rules that protect the village's character.
Gates that suit Hillsborough
- Traditional wrought iron gates on stone or brick pillars – often with underground motors, so nothing spoils the look
- Timber gates for country houses and cottages. See wooden gates
- Automating existing gates that have been in place for years – often the best option for period properties. See automate existing gates
- Long driveways and estate entrances where video intercoms and app control make life much easier
Planning in Hillsborough
Most gates won't need planning permission, but period properties can need consent for new gates, walls or pillars. I'll talk you through it on the visit and suggest options that keep things straightforward. See planning permission for electric gates.
