Introducing

Our Other Estates

Lower Mill Estate

Silverlake has two sister estates, Lower Mill Estate, a lakeside country estate in the heart of the Cotswold Water Park and Birchwood, just outside Barnstaple, close to North Devon’s glorious beaches. All of the estates have been developed under the careful stewardship of our parent company, Habitat First Group

Lower Mill Estate is the longest running of our three estates and has almost reached completion with over 350 Cotswold holiday homes, a Cotswold spa, soft play, four swimming pools, tennis, MUGA and much more. Whilst the opportunity to build your own home has now come to an end at Lower Mill, holiday homes in the Cotswolds are still for sale through our inhouse agency, Habitat Resales and Cotswold spa holidays can be booked through our official holiday rental company, Habitat Escapes.

Birchwood is currently in its infancy and more exciting news will be available about its development soon.
