Cedar Farm, GU6

Set in a quiet corner of the Surrey Hills, Cedar Farm combines historic farm buildings, open grazing land, woodland and four lakes. The 200+ acre location includes nearly 15 acres of formal gardens, with the wider landscape comprising grassland, rolling hills, grazing cattle and areas of ancient woodland. Private roads and tracks run through the farm, including a long, straight concrete road.

The farm has a rich architectural history, with buildings dating from the medieval period through to the 20th century. The standout is a vacant 14th-century farmhouse, with traditional black timber beams and white-rendered walls, available for interiors, exteriors and full takeovers. Nearby, a medieval barn, old granary, stable block and traditional farm buildings provide a variety of historic agricultural settings. Further buildings include an old apple store with sunken stairs, a former office and a butchery cutting room, all available for filming. The farmyard also includes a mix of older stone and timber structures alongside early 20th-century ‘cage box’ style racing stables and more modern barns.

The farm is also home to formal gardens, beautifully landscaped grounds, lakes and ancient woodland, creating a series of picturesque settings. Beyond the more manicured gardens, further lakes sit within a rural and secluded landscape offering a more natural, tranquil backdrop.

These varied landscapes and architectural features offer a range of filming and photography opportunities, from historic rural settings and grand formal gardens to secluded lakeside and countryside backdrops.
