A collection of derelict and deserted old barns paused in a time warp and surrounded by forests.
This atmospheric farmyard comprises a collection of stone, brick and timber barns arranged around an enclosed courtyard, set deep within forestry and bordered by a stream and open pasture. Located in the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the setting feels entirely secluded and visually untouched by the modern world.
The barns retain a wealth of original features, including a bull pen, stables, granary, pigsty, milking parlour and old horse jumps, offering authentic rural detail rarely found in a single location. Having remained largely unchanged for decades, the site has a genuine lost-in-time quality that lends itself particularly well to period productions, rural drama, thrillers and atmospheric storytelling.
From a filming perspective, the enclosed courtyard provides strong natural containment for camera and sound, while the surrounding woodland creates depth, texture and natural screening from external intrusion. On-site parking and space for crew and equipment further enhance the location’s practicality for shoots of varying scale.
