Drayton Hall is a two-story house capped by a double-hipped roof. The first floor consists of a four-room plan situated on a high English basement. Most rooms are laid in full paneling, painted in seafoam green with delicate carvings, elegant mantelpieces, and classical cornices.

Here we have some fierce competition between stately home locations thanks to a 1999 remake of the original. The exterior shots of Hill House in the 1963 version – the 13th greatest horror film of all time, according to us – were filmed here, just outside Stratford-on-Avon in Warwickshire. The mansion was remodelled in the mid-19th century in the splendid neo-gothic style (by a pupil of Pugin no less).
You can't rent out the estate any more now that it's famous.
In particular, the library, with its ornate pink and blue ceiling featuring paintings by Antonio Zucchi, has to be one of the most beautiful in the UK. Visitors can see works by Rembrandt, Turner, Gainsborough and Vermeer. You’ll no doubt remember Knightley’s Cecilia cooling off in the beautiful lily-adorned lake in the gardens, and then there’s the fountain scene giving La Dolce Vita a run for its money. The library in question belongs to Stokesay Court in Shropshire, which Wright first spotted in an issue of Country Life magazine. Built for the Allcroft family in 1889 by the architect Thomas Harris, the house, like many of its kind, hosted convalescing soldiers after the first world war.

More like Wrotham Park, which is where Robert Altman and perennial country house botherer Julian Fellowes’ black comedy-mystery was filmed. The critically acclaimed whodunnit with the seemingly endless ensemble cast was shot at Wrotham for exterior and ground floor scenes, with the upstairs of Syon House used for things like Ryan Philippe unbuttoning Kristin Scott Thomas’s dress. Additional filming took place at Hall Barn in Buckinghamshire (and Shepperton Studios).Wrotham (pronounced roo-tem) Park in Hertfordshire is in the neo-Palladian style. Syon House, meanwhile, is the Grade-I listed neoclassical residence of the Duke of Northumberland (currently a dude called Ralph Percy).Can I visit? Wrotham isn’t open to the public, but you can book it for weddings, parties and corporate events – if you don’t get executed beforehand. Syon House – which reopens in March 2024 – can be visited and offers discounts to local residents, and kids under 16 go free.

Queen Anne’s bedroom in the film is, in fact, the King James drawing room with most of the furniture removed, while the dance takes place among the glorious black-and-white chequered floor and oak-panelled splendour of the Marble Hall. According to Harper's Bazaar, the public could originally visit and arrange guided tours and private parties, but the booking website is no longer available. While Saltburn seems grand in the film, Felix's family treats the estate like a normal house. Davies told AD they had to make certain rooms messy to portray this.
Drayton House had never been used in a film or TV show before "Saltburn."
That woman, Zynea Barney, told the Daily News this week that Drayton seemed like a "cool guy" initially, but when she broke up with him, he tried to strangle her until bystanders intervened. The next day he threatened to kill her and her family, she said. He used bleach to partially clean up the crime scene but intentionally left his "Egyptian cologne" behind in the hope police could link it to him.

During the time of his great-grandson Henry, second Earl of Peterborough, courtier and Catholic convert, the garden pavilions were rebuilt. Saltburn was filmed at Drayton House, a crenelated, Baroque façade mansion with 127 rooms that dates back to around 1300, and sits within a sprawling, 200-acre estate dotted with feature pools and formal gardens. You'd be forgiven for thinking the maze – famously a focal point of the film – is a star attraction, but this was actually erected in the grounds for filming and dismantled when the crew left. Another, now disused, drive runs south-east to the Thrapston to Twywell road and this has a stone lodge of 1908. Drives also run south-east, south-west and north-west from the house. Drayton Cottages, a pair of estate cottages of 1908, stand on the south-west drive.
Construction began in 1701 by the earl’s friend and fellow Kit-Kat Club member, John Vanbrugh (who also designed Oxfordshire’s Blenhem Palace). The final addition to the house was the long gallery in 1811, which Chips Channon described as “reminiscent of the Vatican”. The majority of the house itself was designed in 1764 by the Scottish artist Robert Adam in his signature neoclassical style.
It contains several glasshouses and sheds, partly of C19 date. Drayton House lies towards the centre of a roughly square park c 1km in diameter; the perimeter is defined by a ditch and a post and rail fence, and there is a shelter belt around much of the park. The interior is almost entirely permanent pasture, and there are extensive areas of well-preserved ridge and furrow, for instance between the main drive and the park's southern boundary.
The home of the Catton family (played by Jacob Elordi, Rosamund Pike, Richard E. Grant and Alison Oliver), it is where Oliver (Barry Keoghan) is invited to spend the summer and get a taste of the aristocratic life. The gothic, historical look makes it seem otherworldly, while elements like the maze on the estate become key to the plot. For Fennell, the house encapsulated the heady spirit of the film itself. “It was important to me that we were all in there together, that the making of the film in some way had that feeling of a summer where everyone loses their mind together,” she told Vanity Fair.
This narrow and efficient lakefront home features a charming exterior composed of robust brackets, thick trim profiles and board & batten siding that brings this farmhouse-inspired home to life. Attached to the front, and forming a courtyard with the main house, is the side-loading two-stall garage. A spacious ten foot tall foyer serves as a circulation hub, accessing the home’s second floor, den, and open concept kitchen/hearth.
Immediately north-west of the House is a short lime avenue, probably part of the layout of c 1700 and carrying the main axial line south-west. Within the garden the line is continued down the north side of the East Parterre with a double row of limes planted in the late C20. North-west of the short lime avenue, and occupying the rest of the western part of the garden, is a lawn with specimen trees. In the early C18 this area was the wilderness, visible on the Bucks' view of 1729 (reproduced in guidebook 1990) and probably that described by Morton. The 3m tall wall down the south-west side of this (whose line is continued across the line of the lime avenue by a hedge) is pierced towards its centre by an ex-situ doorway with carved surround of c 1580, while at the south-east end of the hedge is an iron clairvoie. North-east of the wilderness area the central and eastern parts of the north garden are divided up by a cruciform arrangement of beech and hornbeam hedges.
Registered as a historic landmark through the National Trust for Historic Preservation, this estate is one of only three plantations near Charleston to survive both the Revolutionary War and the Civil War. That scene vaulted the 2001 song back into the top 10 of the U.K. And it has inspired many to travel to the house and do their own dance outside the gates — though most seem to have kept their clothes on. In a scene that “Saltburn” watchers have hailed as “iconic,” the character of Oliver Quick danced nude around the mansion to the song “Murder on the Dancefloor,” by British singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor. The residence — complete with stately rooms, lush green lawns and bodies of water — is the setting for most of the film and is where the relationship and tensions play out between Catton, his family and his friend Oliver Quick (played by Barry Keoghan). About 1982, Alan Mitchell planted the Arboretum, which incorporated older cedars, as a narrow strip down the west side of the drive which runs on a straight line south-east from the House.
