Beautifully situated Grade II listed property with excellent detached two bed oak framed barn, lovely gardens and land, within Cranbrook School catchment (2026).
Silverden is a beautiful Grade II listed home dating in part from the late 16th century with 19th century additions, together with an impressive separate two storey oak framed barn built by Hamlet Buildings in 2010 and ancillary to the main house, with over 1,200 sq ft of wonderfully flexible accommodation arranged over two floors.
The detached oak framed barn which was converted in 2010 is set away from the house along the drive and provides excellent two bedroom ancillary/guest accommodation. Internally, on the ground floor it features a lovely open plan kitchen/dining room with a fully fitted kitchen and a guest bedroom suite. A spiral staircase rises up to the first floor where there is a well proportioned sitting room and a second guest bedroom suite.
Occupying a delightful country lane setting they sit at the end of a gated drive with expansive landscaped gardens, a tennis court, pond and land, in total amounting to about 8.55 acres. The village of Sandhurst is about a mile away whilst Hawkhurst is only 3 miles away with its shops, two supermarkets and Kino cinema.
The principal accommodation comprises four reception rooms, including an attractive dual aspect sitting room with inglenook fireplace and woodstove, a dining room, an impressive oak framed garden room with lovely views over the pond, gardens and beyond, and a breakfast room which is open to the kitchen, with Esse oil fired range and direct access to the gardens.
The kitchen is equipped with modern cupboards and a larder cupboard. Appliances include two ovens, an integrated dishwasher, fridge and freezer. Off the kitchen is a boot room and a utility room, with space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. Completing the ground floor is a cloakroom and access to a single room cellar.
Over the first and second floors there are a total of five bedrooms, the majority of which have fitted cupboards, together with two bathrooms, one being en suite to the principal bedroom and two suite shower rooms to bedrooms two and five. Access can be gained to a useful attic store.
Silverden is approached via an electric gate, the drive, flanked by lawns and mature trees passes the barn and leads to the parking area and the detached triple garage with electric and manual doors. The gardens surround the house and are a delightful feature with sweeping lawns, terraces, well established borders, varieties of seasonal shrubs, spring bulbs, mature trees, a pond and a tennis court. Beyond the garden is a field which is hedge enclosed.
