Domhus

Impressive Shropshire Victorian gothic mansion with extensive gardens, land and outbuildings

Period features, galleried hall, library, wood panelling, gothic architecture, parkland, pools, woodlands and outbuildings. Located 6 miles from Ludlow.

Domhus is an enormously grand Grade II* Victorian Gothic house set in a huge private estate in the Shropshire countryside. The potential here for all sorts of filming and shoots is almost infinite. Inside and out this property is exceptional and its range of outbuildings and gardens provides incredible scope.  

The interiors (in brief!) are as one would expect and furnished perfectly for the period throughout. Each opulent room is bursting with the incredible gothic revival architecture of this age including stone mullioned windows, huge fireplaces, plasterwork ceilings, wood panelling, grand staircases, galleries and an amazing library, all on a huge scale! 

There are a large range of useful and beautiful outbuildings such as the Victorian stable block and within the grounds is a sweeping driveway through the incredible parklands, woodlands, several large pools and lakes, a boat house, grottos etc. Within the formal gardens are wonderful terraces surrounding the house, sprawling lawns, and a magnificent fountain, all of which would make for a fabulous shoot locations in their own right. 

Given the amount of space and scope inside and out the family have asked that we quote on an individual basis depending on the requirement of each shoot.

History and special interest

Rather wonderfully this incredible house has remained in the same family since its completion in the late 1800s and remains a private family home.  It was used in the first world war as a hospital and in the second as a training facility, with letters of thanks from the soldiers who stayed there surviving as fascinating testimony to this day. Latterly it has been used in a major Hollywood film.
