DNG and Homeland Investments are delighted to present Silveracre House and The Lodge, the meticulously renovated and restored period properties at the heart of the unique development of Silveracre. The origins of Silveracre are founded in the rich historical heritage of the local area. At the heart of this unique new development is the impressive Silveracre House which dates from the 1830’s and is a perfect example of Regency architecture. Classical details such as the leaded fanlight above the magnificent entrance porch, the splendid granite steps and the two sphinxes mounted on plinths guarding the entrance door recall times past when Silveracre House would have played host to high society and dignitaries. Former residents of Silveracre House include Rev. Henthorn Todd who was a professor of Hebrew at Trinity College in the mid 1850’s and Dr Albert Croly, surgeon and founder of The Baggot Street Hospital who was in residence at Silveracre House in 1898. The rear wing of Silveracre House was added in the early 20th Century and many of the original features from this period including fireplaces and window shutters grace this exquisite home which is being transformed into The Lodge at Silveracre. Both Silveracre House and The Lodge contain the charm and elegance of a bygone era coupled with all the modern convenience of an extensively renovated property. Silveracre has been sympathetically designed around this gem of architectural history given that Silveracre House plus many of the trees within the grounds are protected. Therefore, the scale and the location of the six new houses within Silveracre result in a very special setting for these exemplary detached homes. Each new home has been designed with the modern family in mind with extensive living areas basking in glorious natural light. Locate |
