Monks Hill House

A Filming & Photography Location

An 1890 Victorian country house set within 64 private acres, offering authentic period interiors, complete seclusion and exceptional access to London's principal film studios.

Available for

Monks Hill House is a substantial 1890 Victorian country house available as a film, television and photography location. Its largely unfurnished, unmodernised period interiors — a blank canvas for productions to dress — include a Victorian kitchen with an Aga, a scullery, formal drawing and dining rooms, panelled rooms, staircases, atmospheric cellars and open fireplaces. Beyond the house, a Coach House, a Lodge, a walled garden and 64 acres of parkland and woodland — with a remote timber cabin among the trees — offer a versatile range of backdrops, within easy reach of Central London and the UK's principal film studios.
