About Riverhill House

Riverhill House is a Grade II recorded cloth stone Queen Anne home situated on the southern edge of Sevenoaks in Kent, England. The house and domain, of 130 sections of land, are found specifically toward the south of Knole Park, close to the towns of Sevenoaks Weald and Underriver. Initially based on the site of a Tudor farmstead in 1714, Riverhill House and bequest were bought in 1840 by John Rogers. A sharp botanist and a contemporary of Charles Darwin, Rogers acquired the property due to its protected area and sans lime soil. Rogers was an early individual from the Royal Horticultural Society and a benefactor of Victorian plant-seekers. The house has been amplified and enhanced from that point forward, by consequent ages of the Rogers family up until 1900.

Today the house is as yet a family home in private responsibility for Rogers family. The Riverhill home incorporate gardens initially settled by John Rogers in 1842. The tremendous Turkey oak at the front of the house was brought back as an oak seed by a past proprietor coming back from the Crimean War. The garden likewise has cedar trees planted in the 1840s. In March 2010 Riverhill House was the subject of a Channel 4 TV narrative introduced by hotelier Ruth Watson as a major aspect of the Country House Rescue arrangement. The narrative highlighted the present proprietor and chief of the house Jane Margaret Rogers and driving labyrinth architect Adrian Fisher.
