Chevening is a small, rural parish just outside Sevenoaks in Kent, England, made up of farmland, woodland and a scattering of hamlets rather than a single high street. The focal point is the historic Chevening House and its surrounding estate: a seventeenth‑century country house with extensive parkland and listed buildings that gives the area a distinct landed‑estate character, alongside the parish church of St Botolph's Church with its local memorials.
Locally the community leans towards agriculture and a commuter lifestyle, benefiting from close links into London and the larger town of Sevenoaks. The mix of quiet lanes, woodland and open fields makes it popular with walkers and those seeking a quieter slice of Kentish countryside while still being within easy reach of town amenities.
