Welcome to Cheshire Home and Vista.

 
Elevated high above the stunning Cheshire Plain, with views of five counties with the dramatic Welsh hills as a backdrop, we have a truly unique location.
 

With an idyllic South-West perspective, experiencing beautiful sunrises to the most stunning sunsets imaginable, our home and grounds are filled with an abundance of natural light and an ambiance perfect for commercial shoots.

Main features:

Our Abode

Thanks to its breath-taking location, “wow” factor is guaranteed at our location house.  Clients are describing it as a “tropical oasis together with the best sunsets in the whole region!”.

Cheshire Home & Vista is a beautifully appointed home.  Its traditional architecture is perfectly complemented with contemporary additions – such as the wonderful 30ft feature garden room affording unbroken views across the rolling countryside.

The house has a classic/contemporary interior design feel with several spacious reception areas that can portray multiple location scenarios.

The house brings in an abundance of natural light, making it ideal for still and moving imagery and, as such, has recently been featured in promotional magazines and TV commercials.

Our Grounds & Vista

Our professionally landscaped two-acres of gardens and grounds with spectacular vistas, are without doubt the take away memory of any shoot here. 

With an exotic Mediterranean palm theme blending seamlessly with traditional country house box hedging and mature trees, it is a completely unique fusion. Our manicured lawns, including a quirky ha-ha, are often admired and are certainly a labour of love!
 
Blessed with a South-West elevated perspective and views of five counties with the dramatic back drop of the Welsh mountains, it is perfect for a variety of professional shoots. Contemporary Indian paving wraps around the house creating five very different terraces, enveloping the house in natural light from sunrise to sunset. And oh, those sunsets…!  We’ll let the images speak for themselves.
 
Over a hundred palm trees create a location double (<< click) shooting dynamic. Comparisons have been made with many areas of the Mediterranean, Europe and exotic far and away destinations depicted and shot here. Production companies have found this to be incredibly useful, given the current COVID-19 travel restrictions for overseas location work.
 
From half-day photography shoots and stills through to the large-scale productions for TV commercials and film, the gardens and grounds offer complete versatility for any brief.

Leaving Norwich in the early hours of the morning and trekking 200+ miles across the country for a location shoot is not something most people look forward to, but WOW, was it worthwhile or what! 

There’s only one place to start this review and that’s the pièce de résistance that can be found as you meander around to the back of the property! Firstly, there’s the view, five counties, two countries, grass meadows and mountains give you the most amazing first impression. 

But the views, even though how spectacular, are soon overshadowed by none other than the grass! If you can call it grass, it’s more like a green shagpile carpet that extends well over an acre around the Mediterranean style manicured garden! 

I can hear you from here saying, ‘Grass, how impressive can that be? I want to know about the house, the rooms, the owners, not the grass?’.  Well the grass tells you everything you need to know! It, like the rest of the property and the rooms, is a labour of love for the owners Steve and Jenny. Manicured and cared for to the nth degree reflects the care and pride that has been taken throughout. Each spacious room is decorated in a clean and contemporary design with high end fixtures and fittings and gave us a multitude of shoot options and locations. At the back of the property you’ll find a stunning contemporary garden room extension that has been cleverly designed and positioned to capture the views perfectly from its 270-degree glazed aspect. 

Finally, and what made our trip so worthwhile was the unbelievable hosts, Steve and Jenny. Nothing either ourselves, the crew or the cast wanted was too much hassle for them and they’d even converted one of the rooms into a green room for the cast and crew to relax in, complete with tea and coffee on tap. However, I think the best way for me to sum up Steve and Jenny’s hospitality is that we’d originally planned to leave at 6pm to make the return 200+ mile trek but once we got talking, and the beers came out (non-alcoholic of course) we finally dragged ourselves away at 11pm – just 1 hour after the crew and cast had left!

We cannot recommend this location house more highly and we’re already looking for opportunities to return and the closest hotel to stay in.  See you soon guys!

“We recently filmed six 30 minute episodes for a very popular national primetime TV programme at Cheshire Home and Vista. The owners were incredibly helpful in getting the shoot set up and were on hand to help with any access, moving furniture around and day to day logistics. 

They allowed us to do both a virtual and physical recce prior to the shoot and have several areas in the house where the production crew could use the space for kit, wrangling and any holding areas. Their home is beautiful and has many different looks and feels, there is also plenty of natural light and ample room to work covid safely. I wouldn’t hesitate to come to them again for somewhere to film for another project in the future.”

“A truly unique and special location with the warmest, most welcoming hosts.

We hired this location for a one-day brand commercial shoot and it was everything we needed and more!  Steve and Jenny went above and beyond to accommodate our filming needs and were just amazing in every possible way.  They really are the dream hosts.

Stunning gardens, beautiful home interior and there was ample space for kit and crew.  A true hidden gem of a location.  I’m already looking forward to the next shoot. Highly recommended!”

“I hire a lot of houses for Personal Branding photoshoots, and I always visit them with a sense of trepidation- will they actually live up to the photos I’ve seen…

Cheshire Home and Vista totally surpassed any expectations.  The house is spacious, stylish and has lots of great natural light. The gardens are manicured and have a wonderful Mediterranean feel.

Steve and Jen were welcoming, and helpful (in fact they were just lovely too) and had given so much thought to their house and beautiful gardens (including extra space for hair and makeup/ storage and waiting) – it couldn’t have been a better experience.

I’d already had enquiries wanting to book shoots at the house within hours of posting on social media!

Cheshire Home and Vista was the perfect location for our recent TV commercial shoot.  It provided a wealth of shooting options with spacious rooms and complementary décor.  The outside space is simply outstanding and what’s more, the hosts were welcoming, friendly and made our shoot easy and accessible.

I would highly recommend as a stunning location for TV and stills work.

“We filmed a show reel at Cheshire Home & Vista at the recommendation of my model partner, Tee Morris, who had filmed a TV commercial previously at this stunning location house. Tee had already told me how wonderful Jenny and Steve were and how beautiful their home and grounds are – everything was exactly as he had described! Jenny and Steve truly do make you feel absolutely at home and they are the perfect hosts.

Their house and gardens are breathtakingly beautiful.  It’s an amazing space to film in with an incredible variety of backdrops.  I am so happy we made the decision to have our shoot at their fabulous home and I cannot recommend this location house highly enough.”

“We booked this amazing property for a two day shoot for the healthcare sector.  We were attracted by the multitude of back drops both internally and externally.  

We were able to depict four different locations, which saved an enormous amount of time, as opposed to the logistical challenges (& expense!) of sourcing multiple properties to fulfil our clients brief.

We had a challenging schedule which I can honestly say would not have been achieved if it were not for how accommodating Steve and Jenny were.  Their welcome was incredibly warm to the whole team and they were completely flexible with our requirements around the property.

Nothing was too much trouble.  Communication before and across the two days was open and responsive and their own eye for detail allowed us to just get on with the shoot.”

When we first pulled up, we were instantly blown away by the large immaculately manicured grounds with stunning long-distance views surrounding the property.
What was particularly impressive was the variation in designs and looks in different areas of the gardens, from a tropical theme to ponds and water features and a country garden all set amongst beautifully tendered lawns.

The large traditional built house, together with an amazing glazed extension, sits perfectly on the very large plot with loads of parking in front of the imposing front porch.
What’s great about this location property is that it has several annexed rooms and a cloakroom separate from the house so the cast and crew can keep clear of sets and filming. The spacious and contemporary interior, as you would expect, is really tastefully furnished and decorated.

The hosts Steve and Jen could not have been more welcoming and laid back with more than a dozen people milling about the place, they seemed genuinely pleased in having the shoot at their spectacular property and interested in what was taking place.

We were offered every facility during the day and even had couple of glasses of wine with the hosts whist watching the sun set. It’s hard to believe we were getting paid handsomely to be so well looked after by Steve and Jen and I know the rest of the crew and cast felt the same.  I do so hope we get to film at this amazing location house again sometime very soon.
