Basford Photography & Filming Location

Basford Cottage & Private Grounds

Welcome to Basford Hurst Cottage where every room is a destination, a world of limitless possibilities to capture “that” moment, and opportunity to make your mark on the canvas. The only limit is your imagination.

A beautiful country kitchen with cream tiled floors, windows and granite surfaces.

Country Kitchen

The beautiful country kitchen has a large centre island and underfloor heated tiled flooring. Decorated with beautiful William Morris fabrics and complete with a working Rayburn Aga as a focal point. There is a stunning iron spiral staircase as you enter the Kitchen. 

A wood panneled dining room with large windows, a large wooden table with 8 chairs and a red / brown tiled floor. There is also a large window with long curtains.

Dining Room

One of the most beautiful rooms in the property, complete with a fireplace and mantlepiece, wood panelled walls and ceiling, plus gorgeous wooden beams. There is a large old oak dining table complete with 8 matching chairs as a central feature and a large window which floods the room with light. 

A derelict concrete staircase with a skylight and unfinished walls.

Derelict Staircase

Through a secret door off of the dining room leads you down into a small but versatile space which we appropriately name the ‘Derelict Staircase’. This area is undecorated which makes it unique within the property. The stone stairs, iron bars and white washed walls really provide something different to shoot. There is a large window and sky light which flood the area with plenty of natural light. 

The large drawing room with wood panelled flooring, chandeliers, a large fire place and large windows.

Drawing Room

The biggest and grandest room on the property, measuring over 29ft in length. Gorgeous wooden floors and a grand fireplace really give this room the wow factor. There are huge windows at both ends of the room, meaning there is ample natural light whatever time of day. Chandeliers hang at both ends of the room and there are large wooden doors on both sides.

The piano room, large windows, french doors, wooden ceiling beams and a large wooden staircase.

Piano Room

Another beautiful room complete with large windows, wooden framed doorways and a stunning wooden staircase leading up to the upstairs portion of the property. Another focal point of this room is the beautiful piano. 

The models dressing room with three large windows, a sofa, a mirror and chair and wooden flooring.

Natural Woodland

We are so blessed at Basford Hurst Cottage to have three acres of natural, protected woodland. There is a wooden bridge which is situated over a natural stream, The WhirleyCrew, a tributary of the River Churnert. There are loads of grand trees, rock boulders and other areas for everyone to explore.

Basford Grounds

Surrounding our beautiful home are the private grounds. There is a clock tower which overlooks the south courtyard, as well as a beautiful recently renovated front lawn, pond and gravelled patio at the side. Numerous flower beds, period features and stone walls make the whole area a photographers dream whatever the season.

Review

‘All the locations are really wonderful and create a mysterious atmosphere of the past. Some rooms are almost empty to give space for movement and the opportunity to use the background, some have beautiful furniture and interesting props, such as a piano for example or a beautifully equipped bathroom.’
