About this location
Midcentury Modern Home: Tucked away on a quiet, leafy private road, this 1950s mid-century modern home is set within a secluded ¾-acre ancient woodland plot, offering a unique and atmospheric backdrop for film, photography, and creative projects.
Surrounded by mature trees, including two ancient British Oaks and overlooking open farmland & woodland, the house provides a rich variety of warm textures, earthy tones, and seasonal moods. Despite its rural feel, it is conveniently located just minutes from the A1 and easily accessible from M25 and central London in under 30-min via direct train.
The house features classic mid-century design elements including angular rooflines, exposed brickwork, timber cladding, original 1950s parquet flooring, and open-tread wooden staircases. Large windows frame the natural surroundings, creating a strong indoor-outdoor connection perfect for lifestyle shoots.
The open-plan living room includes a modern HETA Danish wood-burning stove set, wooden furnishings (including West-Elm), and a sun-drenched reading nook overlooking the side, south-facing garden. With its mix of original architectural detail, warm textures, and versatile natural spaces, this location offers endless creative potential in a peaceful woodland setting.
The open-plan living room space provides ample space for accommodating a crew of 10-15 people, with doors leading from the lounge to the south facing garden - where additional space can be created.
The authentic retro kitchen with original cabinetry, large picture windows overlooking the woodland garden.
Upstairs is a former Art-studio with exposed beams and warm tones, the room is currently set up as a guest room, but a versatile, large space that is available for shoots.
