Basford Hurst Cottage Photography Location

Basford Hurst Cottage was originally erected in 1889 and housed the garages, stables, and electricity generator for the main Basford Hurst House. It also provided living accommodation for the groom and chauffeur.

Nowadays it is utilised as a living residence, but, the owners felt it was wasted if no one ever got to see just how spectacular it was, not only on the outside but namely the inside!

The house itself is split into two parts, the old part built in 1889 and the new extension put on in 1996. Both have a wealth of shooting opportunities.
