Dashwood House is an impressive Palladian country house set within 45 acres of landscaped parkland in Buckinghamshire. The 18th-century property offers an exceptional collection of grand period interiors alongside extensive grounds, making it a distinctive location for your shoot.
Inside, eight principal rooms provide a rich variety of historic backdrops, combining Baroque, Rococo and classical influences. Painted ceilings, marbled walls, ornate fireplaces, period portraits, antique furniture and original architectural detailing feature throughout, offering productions an authentic and highly decorative period setting.
The striking neo-classical Hall is one of the property’s standout spaces, designed to evoke the atrium of a Roman villa with a coffered ceiling, hand-painted marbled walls and an Italianate feel. A sweeping mahogany staircase with intricate marquetry provides further strong angles and architectural detail.
The Dining Room, also known as the Palmyra Room, continues the grand aesthetic with hand-painted walls and ceiling, historic portraiture, classical busts and a substantial dining table. Interestingly, the table itself has a connection to the property’s filming history, having been added by Pinewood Studios for a production in the 1990s.
With highly detailed interiors, impressive proportions and 45 acres of surrounding parkland, West Wycombe Park offers productions the opportunity to capture multiple period and country-estate looks within a single location.
