About this location
Positioned at the heart of Woodhall Park, this substantial country manor house combines elegant period architecture with expansive estate surroundings to create one of Hertfordshire’s most versatile filming locations. The property centres around an impressive private courtyard and enjoys far-reaching views across the surrounding parkland and countryside.
Internally, the house features a range of beautifully proportioned reception rooms, grand staircases, period detailing and generous open spaces, making it equally suited to period dramas, luxury lifestyle productions and contemporary filming requirements. The combination of formal interiors and intimate domestic spaces allows the property to double for residences, family homes, boutique hotels and institutional settings.
Externally, the manor house benefits from an exceptional collection of complementary filming locations within immediate walking distance. Productions can move seamlessly between the principal house, the surrounding stable buildings, gardens the Outdoor Pool and Pavilion, the Outdoor Tennis Court and the restored Formal Walled Gardens without the need for company moves.
The central courtyard provides an attractive arrival sequence and practical operational space, while the surrounding parkland creates long sightlines and classic English estate views from almost every elevation.
As part of the wider estate, productions can combine the manor house with parkland, woodlands, private roads, gatehouses and waterways to achieve multiple looks from a single filming base.
