1. The Gentlemen House
The Halstead Manor was the Gentlemen house and it wasn’t an actual house. It was filmed at the Badminton House, Gloucestershire. “Badminton felt immediately perfect for Halstead location,” location manager Iggy Elli revealed because “it’s a proper, lived in, home, rather than a National museum trust. So inside there’d be some walking sticks by the door or a few shotgun rounds from where they’d been out shooting. There were cracks and tired bits as you’d get in every family home. But there was also oil painting and history and majesty. It felt perfect for our story.”
