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!

Hill Road North, Helsby, Frodsham

Not Black Mirror then.. funny how we group these quite different houses together!

No. 9 - the one where they’re trying to steal the art.

Wtfdidwedo · 06/10/2020 23:46

There was a similar one on a Silent Witness episode, and a similar one on Grand Designs. The house is called Steppingstones and if you Google it nothing comes up for filming locations, so it could just be that it's very similar to others.

Sure it's the secret she keeps

The Inside no 9 “quiet night in” Episode (with the art thieves) was apparently “White Lodge, in Oxted, Surrey“

God this house is hideous. It looks like a college or something.

Nenevalleysigns · 07/10/2020 00:05

It’s a wee bit of a soul less gilded cage. It’s owned by some big football team boss.

All that footballer’s wife fuschia colour paint everywhere can’t even warm it up.

Clickbait threads like this will get more frequent as property refuses to shift during Covid.

Pretty sure it was Sherlock

olderthanyouthink · 07/10/2020 00:23

It's definitely not the Sherlock house

I googled the "film location Helsby" and this article can't up but not actual mention of a show or movie so I think it just looks like that kind of place.

I recognise the galleried landing. There was a drama series where the owners had a evening drinks party and a woman turned up who shouldn't have? Was she pushed down the stairs?
Then another scene where a woman was being threatened by another woman. She had a tiny baby with her.
I'm thinking Dr Foster like you mentioned OP, but it's all very vague in my mind.

HorridHamble · 07/10/2020 01:16

@3catsandcounting The Replacement! BBC drama with Vicky McLure and the one from the A Word.

@3catsandcounting

Are you thinking of cuckoo? About a lady being ousted on maternity leave?

Gatr · 07/10/2020 01:18

@3catsandcounting
@HorridHamble thats what it was called sorry!

MaryBear · 07/10/2020 01:45

I know which one you mean that it's from. The bloke shacked up with his wife's best friend, he and the ex wife had a son and the new woman had a daughter, the new woman was a black woman. The son sneaked into the daughters bedroom to hook up. It's really pissing me off!!

MaryBear · 07/10/2020 01:50

Gold digger!!! The ex wife meets a young bloke and the husband who left her for her best mate is jealous. It's got Alex Jennings as the jealous husband. It was good!!

Thegoldplace · 07/10/2020 01:56

Dr Foster?

samosamimosa · 07/10/2020 03:01

I've seen it on tv but I didn't watch Sherlock or killing eve.

Violetroselily · 07/10/2020 06:13

What are photos 30 and 31?

Looks like some sort of climbing wall? Am I being blind?
Confused

BessieSurtees · 07/10/2020 06:30

Awful house but place marking in the hope someone confirms the TV programme.

1AngelicFruitCake · 07/10/2020 06:32

Someone beat me to it! Doctor Foster!

MostDisputesDieAndNoOneShoots · 07/10/2020 06:41

I immediately thought Inside No. 9. Also, why has it got about six kitchens and what looks like a science lab in it? Reminds me of a new build school! Gary Barlow is from Frodsham I believe, is it his house?!

MrsRogerLima · 07/10/2020 06:43

@OLittleTownofBethlehem

It looks like the house from Inside No. 9 A Quiet Night In.
This poster hatd it
wowfudge · 07/10/2020 06:52

Gary Barlow doesn't live in Frodsham and when he did have a huge house in Cheshire it was a period place. He now lives in London I think.
