About this property

Silver Cottage, Hunton. Beautiful, secluded cottage. Idyllic Location. Parking

Silver Cottage is a renovated SilverSmith's dating from the early 1800s. It has had a total renovation and is now the ideal location for a peaceful retreat. It is situated at the end of a private lane that leads into open countryside between the hamlet of Hunton and Yalding village. It is silent at night with only the odd tractor during the warm summer days. Yet the village of Yalding has excellent pubs, a restaurant, a cafe (for great coffee), the excellent Yalding Organic Gardens, a village shop, post office, access to the river Medway (fishing, canoeing etc) and many historic buildings and features.
It is a glorious walk to Yalding in 20-30 minutes or a 5 minute drive.

On entering the front door of Silver Cottage there is a cloakroom to the right with a large walk-in shower. The next room is a twin bedroom with plenty of built-in storage. The rest of the ground floor is taken up by the kitchen / diner and sitting room. The kitchen is large and has a dishwasher, washing machine and fridge. The dining table seats six and there are two sofas, a TV, stereo and a fabulous wood-burning stove. Under-floor heating is fitted throughout the ground floor. The main bedroom is upstairs and has a generous en-suite bathroom with roll-top bath.

The cottage has its own private garden and terrace, private parking, use of the owners' tennis court (by arrangement) and charcoal barbecue.

The cottage would suit a couple or a family looking for a rural, summer holiday or those looking for a cosy winter break, snuggled inside with the wood-burning stove. The building has been insulated with modern products and holds the heat in winter and is cool in the summer.

A pet friendly spot to work and study
We loved the public footpaths and the cottage was cosy on rainy days. Loved the downstairs shower and lovely bath upstairs.

Easter Break
Lovely, cosy cottage that has everything we needed for the week. Very quiet, rural area with lovely field to look out on and for the children to play in. Owner was lovely and on hand via texts to help when we needed her. Welcome basket was amazing!

Relaxing stay
We spent a very relaxed Christmas here. We were very comfortable, warm and cosy.The cottage was well equipped although the size of the fridge was a little challenging. There are plenty of walks from the door. The private garden would be great to enjoy in the summer. Overall, a good experience

Lovely little hideaway!
What a cute little cottage this is. We were in the region visiting family and it was so lovely to come 'home' to Silver Cottage each evening. The welcome basket was an added bonus. The set up is low-key so you don't need to worry about breaking anything. The owner who we messaged with is swift in her communication and seemed very 'chilled'. The cottage sits down a private lane on the edge of a field with lots of walking opportunities. The drives down the country lanes was the only downside for us. Many are single tracks and cars tear down the streets at speed. Can highly recommend Silver Cottage.
