Grade II Listed English Country House with Moat, Pool & 3.5 Acres | Hertfordshire / Essex
A striking Grade II Listed English country house set within approximately 3.5 acres of private gardens and grounds in Great Hallingbury, close to Bishop's Stortford on the Essex and Hertfordshire border.
Dating from the 16th, 17th and 19th centuries, the property offers an unusually varied collection of interiors and exteriors within one location. Original period features sit alongside later additions and more contemporary spaces, providing a versatile backdrop for film, television, commercials, advertising, fashion, editorial, lifestyle and photography shoots.
The main house includes large reception rooms, drawing and sitting rooms, period fireplaces, exposed beams and brickwork, a spacious kitchen with island, dining areas, multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, character hallways and a historic brick arched cellar.
Outside, approximately 3.5 acres provide a wide variety of filming backdrops, including mature gardens, sweeping lawns, a historic moat, secluded and more natural areas, a private tennis court, heated outdoor swimming pool, pool house, summerhouse, terraces and a collection of characterful outbuildings and weatherboarded structures.
One of the location's particular strengths is the number of distinctly different settings available within the same property, allowing productions to achieve a variety of looks without relocating between scenes.
The extensive grounds and ancillary spaces may also provide useful areas for production requirements such as crew holding, hair and make-up, wardrobe, catering and green room facilities, subject to the size and requirements of each production.
The Hall is private and secluded while remaining highly accessible. There is extensive on-site parking and good vehicle access, with space for production and support vehicles subject to crew size. Superfast internet and strong mobile signal are available.
Located beside the historic St Giles Church in Great Hallingbury, The Hall is approximately 2 miles from Bishop's Stortford, around 10 minutes from London Stansted Airport and within easy reach of London, with direct rail services between Bishop's Stortford and London Liverpool Street.
We are happy to discuss individual production requirements, including recce visits, crew size, vehicle and equipment access, filming hours and use of specific areas of the house, grounds and ancillary buildings.
