SHARING A LOVE OF NATURE Habitat First Group is a development company, led by Red, Ruby and Rory Paxton, founded on the principle of creating holiday home communities that share a deep love of nature and a passion for exploring the great outdoors.

The family-run business launched Lower Mill Estate in the Cotswolds two decades ago, with Silverlake following more recently. In Devon, Birchwood now continues the legacy of combining excellence in architecture, interior design, state-of-the-art facilities, security and service.

HOW IT WORKS

The residences on the estate are architecturally adventurous yet sustainably minded. They stand the test of time and provide a beautiful environment for families to grow in a safe, responsible and enjoyable way, whilst instilling a love of nature in future generations.

From buying a freehold plot to turning the key on your new holiday home, we ensure the process is as frictionless as possible. Choose from one of Lower Mill Estate’s award-winning designs, modify an existing one or instruct your own architect for the full Grand Designs experience and whichever you go for, put your own stamp on your home. Whichever you go for, make your own stamp on the details. Recommended builders are on hand to help you build and customise your property, ready to deliver a multitude of layouts, a range of interiors and the best in sustainable materials and finishes.

VISION – SUSTAINABILITY

REGENERATION FOR BOTH NATURE AND PEOPLE A belief in ethical integrity underpins all our operations. By their very nature, our modern developments avoid the issue of turning rural villages into ghost towns mid-week, whilst still generating local income and jobs. We regenerate our development sites, creating habitats for wildlife as much as for people, with recognition for excellence by The Wildlife Trust.

ECOLOGY

PROTECTING AND ENHANCING THE WILD LIFE Lower Mill Estate is home to a plethora of creatures great and small, thanks to its many lakes, meadows, woodlands and meandering rivers. Habitat First Group’s dedicated ecologist is in charge of rewilding the estates and enhancing hundreds of wildlife species in perpetuity.

Keen eyes may spot our resident beavers and otters, or catch them on the live feed from our motion-activated cameras. House martins, nightingales and warblers return each year to breed at the estate whilst migrating ospreys have been spotted in the skies overhead – with luck, they may one day nest in the grounds.
