A beautifully situated Grade II listed property with detached two bed oak framed barn, lovely gardens and land, within Cranbrook School catchment (2025).
Silverden is a beautiful Grade II listed home dating in part from the late 16th century with 19th century additions, together with a separate two storey oak framed barn built by Hamlet Buildings in 2010 and utilised as ancillary accommodation to the main house. Occupying a wonderful setting they sit at the end of a gated drive with expansive landscaped gardens, a tennis court, a pond and an adjoining field, in all amounting to approximately 8.5 acres.
The property lies off a country lane, about a mile away from the village of Sandhurst and 3 miles to the west of Hawkhurst 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 and grounds surround the house and are a delightful feature with sweeping lawns, terraces, well established borders, varieties of seasonal shrubs, spring bulbs, mature trees and a pond. There is a tennis court and to the south is an enclosed field with separate vehicular access from the road.
Set away from the house is the detached barn which was converted in 2010 to provide the excellent two bedroom ancillary/guest accommodation. Internally, it features a lovely kitchen/dining room with a fitted kitchen and a guest bedroom suite on the ground floor and a spiral staircase rises to the first floor where there is a sitting room and a second guest bedroom suite.
