The Gardens

A lake, a mill pond, stone bridges — and the light moving between them.

The lake at Netley Mill House, ringed by mature trees — The Lake

A stone bridge crossing the water between banks of green — The Bridges

The mill pond lying still in front of the house — The Mill Pond

What happens here

One location. Four good reasons to take it over.

The house and gardens in soft light, framed for a photograph

Photoshoots

Water, stone and long sightlines with no neighbouring properties in frame. Light that changes hour by hour.

Low sun streaming through trees at the woodland edge

Filming

A controlled, private location with parking for crew vehicles, power and water, and indoor holding space.

Rows of ceremony chairs dressed with flowers on a garden lawn

Weddings & Celebrations

A ceremony on the lawn by the water, then dinner under canvas. The gardens do the decorating.

A table laid for a long lunch in a sunlit garden

Private Events

Long lunches, launches, filming wrap parties, family days. Three acres, one party, no one else.

The Village

Shere. You’ve seen it at the cinema.

The Holiday and Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason both filmed in this village. Netley Mill House sits on its edge — the same lanes, the same hills, three private acres of it.
