Photoshoots at Coswarth

Colan, Newquay, Cornwall, UK

A blank canvas for visual storytellers, here is a unique location that will inspire and captivate creatives. With its romantic grounds and subtle hints of faded country house grandeur, this Grade II-listed Cornish manor and its rustic barns make a striking photoshoot location for filming, product launches and fashion shoots in the South West.

Overview

This unique shoot location is somewhat of a paradox, fusing rawness and rusticity with undertones of elegant English heritage. A long tree-lined drive leads to a stone manor and maze of outbuildings, each doused in an intriguing vintage charm of their own. The collection of Cornish farm buildings are part of an ancient country house and were left to fall back to nature, remaining this way in the early stages of a sympathetic renovation. Each space can be rented as seen, or utilised in experimental ways by means of painting, wallpapering or dressing. The location is well suited to playful creatives and stylists who can take full advantage of the bucolic setting and its endless possibilities.

Spaces

As well as the four acres of landscaped gardens which comprise lawns, a tennis court, ivy-clad railway bridge and grotto, there is a large warehouse-style barn, long stone shooting barn with stables beneath, and part-derelict cottage complete with crumbling walls and distressed interiors. The east-facing façade of the main house (which can also be hired as a photoshoot or filming location) features an eight-light granite window with hollow-chamfered mullions, believed to be part of the original late 16th century farmhouse. The slate stone and granite rubble elevations feature an attractive hip roof, housing classical interiors such as recessed sash windows, slate and period tessellated tiled flooring.
