Anyone recognise it ?

It looks annoyingly familiar ...

It's Wrotham Park. Used in Gosford Park and Peter's Friends.

I thought the whole episode felt like Gosford Park. I should have picked up on Peter's Friends, too.

Those, plus multiple times in Jeeves and Wooster, it's Nancherrow in Coming Home (small drama with big names - watch it), it's been in Spooks at one point, Poirot.... pretty much any decent period drama pops in to Wrotham at some point. Also, it features in one of the links for the 'Dave' channel, when they have random people racing cars down a gravel driveway and dancing through the house in weird outfits. Gorgeous location.

Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy

Yes it is, I at first thought it might be Chatsworth but then of course all the cast are London based so threw that one out!

^It doesn't look anything like Chatsworth. When one approaches Chatsworth, it is very beautiful with exquisite grounds. The house featured in this show was very nice, but, if you noticed, the grounds weren't nice at all. (At least in that season.)
