The hospital was built as a colony for mentally defective persons by Kent county council utilising an existing mansion and estate. In 1936 it housed up to 1200 patients in different sections: Male, Female and Juveniles.
Leybourne Grange closed in 1996, and lay derelict for many years until it was bought by developers to become Leybourne Chase housing development. Only the mansion, clock tower and a few outbuildings are to be retained.
