Somerley, Georgian country house in Ellingham, England.
Somerley is a Georgian country house situated within an extensive estate of parkland and woodland covering thousands of acres. The main residence features a long picture gallery and several residential buildings spread across the grounds.
Samuel Wyatt designed this country house in 1795 as a Georgian architectural work. The Normanton family acquired and established it as their family home in the early 1800s.
The house serves as a filming location for major television productions, hosting sets and crews for historical dramas and period pieces. Visitors walk through spaces that have been transformed for screen productions over the years.
The property offers three separate accommodation options for visitors of different group sizes. The extensive grounds are accessible throughout the year, though weather and daylight hours vary by season.
The grounds house multiple film sets at once and serve as an active filming location where different productions often overlap. This means the property exists simultaneously as a historic house and a working studio space.
