About this location
This historic Tudor House with Elizabethan influence, originally built over 350 years ago and later expanded. Once owned by the Bishop of Reading, the manor retains its timeless English character — flintstone walls, oak beams, grand fireplaces, and leaded windows — blended with subtle Edwardian additions that enhance both its elegance and scale.
Set within 150 acres of private countryside, the estate features three additional houses, stables, fields, formal gardens, orchards, two swimming pools, a tennis court, an industrial metal hangar, and over 130 acres of ancient woodland — offering an exceptional variety of cinematic backdrops for film and photography.
At its heart lies a world-renowned Recording Studio, one of the largest residential studios in the UK. The studio has hosted and inspired artists such as Pink Floyd, Morrissey, and The Cure — with David Gilmour of Pink Floyd once living at the estate alongside other legendary musicians.
The estate has full electricity, high-speed fibre internet, and heating in some buildings, as well as on-site accommodation for crew and talent. Located just one hour from London, 45 minutes from Heathrow, and 40 minutes from Oxford, this location offers complete privacy, period beauty, and world-class production potential within easy reach of the capital.
