Somerhill House

Somerhill House, a Grade I listed country house in Capel, Kent, England, UK, is built of red sandstone. While it may appear to be a Jacobean-style mansion, it was built in the early 17th century. The red color of the house is not from the architectural style, but from the type of stone used. Indeed, Somerhill House was once the site of a watermill, and the main hall of the house still retains the marks of the watermill's water channels. The library at Somerhill is the second longest room in Kent at 93 feet long, exceeded only by the Gallery at Knole House, Sevenoaks. Somerhill House was built for The 4th Earl of Clanricarde in 1611–1613. It became derelict by the mid-eighteenth century but was later restored. Somerhill was bought by a member of the Goldsmid family in 1849 and greatly extended between 1879 and 1897, making it the second largest house in Kent, after Knole House, Sevenoaks.
