This unique ground-up design is an original from Backyard Grannys Director, Alex Mitchell, with construction led by our building coordinator, Jacob Kepreotes. It is a design we’re extremely proud to add to our line of affordable, stylish granny flats.

The Silverdale is a contemporary designer granny flat featuring a striking double skillion roof. The unique floor plan is easily customizable to add front and rear patios in varying sizes to suit the tastes and budgets of all people.

The internal floor plan is functional and spacious and is a full 60m² including two bedrooms, a bathroom and internal laundry. The main living area has a raked ceiling, and highlight windows are included in the design creating an additional sense of space.

This Newcastle granny flat features matte black tapware throughout and a stunning kitchen, including stone bench tops and a splashback window. The main living area flooring is QuickStep laminate and we laid carpet in the bedrooms.

Our Backyard Grannys architecturally designed granny flat design range has a contemporary design to suit the individual needs of any client and our exclusive Newcastle Designer Granny Flats range are built with the highest specifications and inclusions to provide a level of luxury not seen before in the granny flat market.

We invite you to inspect The Silverdale design at our Newcastle granny flat display home which is open Saturdays between 11am – 2pm.
