Riverhill House, English country house and gardens in Sevenoaks Weald, Great Britain.

The property encompasses 74 acres of parkland featuring three distinct gardens: an 18th-century wilderness, Victorian terraces, and an early 20th-century woodland garden.

Built in 1714 to replace a Tudor farmhouse, Riverhill House underwent major modifications when John Rogers acquired it in 1840 and added several extensions.

The gardens contain plants from historical expeditions, demonstrating the Victorian era's interest in botanical collection and garden design innovations.

The main entrance leads from Riverhill Road past a lodge to the forecourt, featuring an 18th-century stone bridge beneath the mansion's north front.

King Harold's ancient road connecting London to Hastings runs past the property as an untouched sunken path, preserved since the 1710 Turnpike construction.
