Gatehouse at Estate Entrance
A historic gatehouse positioned at the entrance to the park, combining elegant French Classical architecture with parkland surroundings and grand estate gates.
Rich in heritage character and architectural detail, this gatehouse provides a versatile backdrop for film, television, commercial and photography productions.
About this location
Formerly serving as one of the principal gatehouses to the estate, this gatehouse forms an important part of the estate’s historic arrival sequence. Constructed circa 1870 by the Smith family, the lodge was designed to create an impressive first impression of the estate beyond, combining architectural presence with practical function.
Built in yellow brick with stone dressings, the single-storey lodge is designed in the French Classical style and is distinguished by its elegant proportions, timber balcony and symmetrical facade. Its unique architectural character allows it to double for gatehouses, lodges, estate offices and residential properties across a variety of genres.
The lodge sits alongside the estate entrance and enjoys direct access to the surrounding parkland and wider estate road network, making it particularly useful for arrival sequences and establishing shots. Nearby complementary filming locations include the historic Avenue, which stretches through the parkland towards the main estate, and the wider rolling parklands that surround the lodge and provide far-reaching countryside views.
As part of the wider estate, this property can also be combined with nearby bridges, roads and historic architecture to create a broad range of production environments within close proximity.
