Pretty sure I saw this house in a TV drama...

Does anyone else recognise it? I think it was a bit of a thriller or mystery type. Like Dr Foster, but not that. It’s really annoying me!

Although not sure if he sold it when it first went up for sale a few years ago

ZaraCarmichaelshighheels · 06/10/2020 22:24

In Sherlock it was called Appledore but it’s called Swinhay House apparently.

Megan2018 · 06/10/2020 22:24

When I saw it I definitely thought of Killing Eve, towards end of series 2 I think. She goes to dinner with her “friend” Amber that she goes to the drug addicts meets with and brother Aaron.
Not sure it’s the actual house but it’s similar.

Piggyhoolier · 06/10/2020 22:28

I’ve seen all of Killing Eve but fairly positive I’ve never seen that kitchen before

UltimateOwl · 06/10/2020 22:32

There's a Black Mirror where they can view everything they see up on a screen etc - think it was that one people are thinking of.

The Inside No. 9 one was this, similar but nicer!

Was it in the third Johnny English film?

Xuli · 06/10/2020 22:39

Yes, definitely the house the guy from The Killing had in Sherlock

Bubbletrouble43 · 06/10/2020 22:40

Bethlehem yes I thought of that episode of inside number 9 too!

NicLondon1 · 06/10/2020 22:45

Grand Designs?

CostaCosta · 06/10/2020 22:46

The inside looks a bit like the drama on bbc where the young girl had a baby for the rich couple. It was set in Scotland, but they had a nice loch out back

Amazing house but holy crap that decor and furniture is naff (misses point of thread)

@TherapistInATabard

Whenever I do one of my fantasy house searches on right move, I actually come away quite happy that most of these multi-million houses, I would not want to live in. I think this one seems very cold and clinical

@CostaCosta

I didn’t watch that either. So far it seems like either Killing Eve or Black Mirror. Or Safe.

Yes it is. It could be really lovely though.

gower4 · 06/10/2020 23:09

@CostaCosta the nest? That's what I thought

Bawdrip · 06/10/2020 23:11

The picture of the outside reminded me of a scene with Kristen Scott Thomas. Bit of googling shows it was Chromophobia I was thinking of and Skywood House but it's very similar

Rollergirl11 · 06/10/2020 23:16

I think it looks like the place where there was a party in the BBC series Clique. There was also a pool scene that looks very similar to the pool in this house.

Shelby1981 · 06/10/2020 23:19

Grand designs!

happylittlevegemites · 06/10/2020 23:24

Did the ex husband in “Gold Digger” live here?

happylittlevegemites · 06/10/2020 23:26

Or some TV show (maybe a black mirror episode) where two idiots were trying to steal a painting?

wonderstuff · 06/10/2020 23:28

Its been in a few things I think.

Hotelhelp · 06/10/2020 23:29

Came on to say the same as @happylittlevegemites. The cycling man?

Janegrey333 · 06/10/2020 23:29

That is a perfectly hideous house. The purple glut is awful.

Youfromthefuture · 06/10/2020 23:31

This is the Black Mirror house

Sorry for DM link....

Bellabelles · 06/10/2020 23:38

Not sure what it’s been in but my god it’s absolutely hideous!
