Knole.

"Knole House, near Sevenoaks, is perhaps the largest of the Kentish mansions. The earliest parts were built in the fifteenth century, but the main portion is chiefly Elizabethan. It is a quadrangular house, with embattled gateways and square towers, and is most beautifully situated in an extensive park, which has deep hollows and a splendid variety of trees." Extract from "Kent" (Open Library)

Knole is a National Trust property with free entry for National Trust members.
