Santon is based near Reigate, Surrey, and falls within Reigate and Banstead Borough Council.
This charming 18th-century country cottage offers a characterful and versatile setting your next shoot. Located in the Surrey countryside, less than an hour’s drive from London, the property combines historic architectural features with bold, thoughtfully curated interiors, creating a collection of distinctive backdrops within an intimate and welcoming family home.
The interiors are full of personality, with a carefully considered mix of vibrant colours, traditional materials and original period details. The warm, inviting kitchen features a wood-burning stove, low oak beams and a rustic dining table. Elsewhere, a beautiful south-facing sitting room benefits from natural light, exposed timber beams and a broad fireplace framed by original Delft tiles, creating an atmospheric backdrop for both period and contemporary productions.
Throughout the rest of the house, four bedrooms and three bathrooms offer a variety of additional shooting environments, ranging from bold statement interiors to quieter, more understated spaces. The combination of historic charm and contemporary styling makes the cottage particularly desirable for productions looking for an authentic English countryside setting.
Outside, the thoughtfully landscaped gardens overlook neighbouring cow pastures, with views extending towards the River Mole and Surrey Hills beyond. An orchard of young apple trees, wildflower meadows and an established vegetable garden create a picturesque rural setting, complemented by a small pond and a distinctive rocket hive by Matt Somerville.
Adjacent to the cottage is a 200-year-old open-fronted timber-framed barn, providing a beautiful covered setting. The surrounding fields offer further flexibility, with generous spaces available to make your shoot flow conveniently.
Parking is available on the private driveway for approximately six vehicles, with extensive additional space in the adjacent fields for larger crews, trailers and production vehicles. The nearest public transport is Reigate and Redhill railway stations, both approximately ten minutes away by car.
The property runs on a standard domestic power supply, with ample outdoor space to accommodate a generator if required and agreed in advance. The property does not have designated side or disabled access. Sound levels in the surrounding countryside are suitable for sound filming.
