Overview
Heavy antler chandeliers, velvet sofas and dramatic opulence reign inside this former tanning mill at the edge of the High Weald AONB, where classical interior design hides beneath the property’s tall chimney stacks which reach to the sky. Ornate doorways, oak paneled walls and enormous carved stone fireplaces offer grand frames for models and timber beams showcase the best of the home’s period features.
Spaces
Rocking horses, a bright orangery and magnificent, sweeping staircases bring diversity to the opportunities which abound at this vast property, with a luxurious hunting lodge style ensuring a unique outcome for filming or photography. Filled to the brim with character, every brass bedframe and flagstone doorway screams with opportunity; here is a shoot location in England's South-East not to be missed.
