A shoot location built for production.
An adaptable location for film, TV and photoshoot production.
Set within the Kent countryside, High Birch is a farmhouse style filming location that combines traditional architecture with considered interiors and expansive grounds. Each area of the property offers a distinct visual identity, allowing film, television and editorial shoots to capture multiple looks within one setting.
The layout is both visually strong and easy to work within, making it a practical and flexible choice for production teams looking for a countryside shoot location with depth and variation.
Designed to support a smooth, creative shoot from start to finish.
Production-friendly and easy to work in — the property offers excellent access, ample on-site parking and flexible spaces for crew, styling and equipment. The surrounding grounds provide additional opportunities for outdoor setups and unit bases, while the seclusion of the estate allows teams to work efficiently and uninterrupted.
the kitchen
A kitchen that photographs beautifully from every angle.
Generous in scale and filled with natural light, it features classic cabinetry, a large central island and layered textures that work beautifully on camera. The space balances character with a clean, usable layout — equally suited to food and family-focused shoots.
A consistent favourite for stylists and brands — available as a stand alone hire or as part of a whole-house shoot.
A layout that feels intuitive, with spaces that flow naturally
the grounds & exterior
Open countryside that creates space, depth and versatility for location shoots.
The grounds extend naturally from the house, offering a mix of open views and more structured areas. The landscape is simple and unobtrusive, allowing it to adapt easily to different styles of film, TV and photoshoot production. There is a sense of space throughout, with room to frame, position and move without restriction.
The exterior of the Grade II listed house itself photographs exceptionally — period details, mature planting and good aspect for late afternoon light.
