You could stay at these amazing properties made famous in your favourite movie – including Harry Potter’s childhood home
FANS can book a break in the homes of their on-screen favourites as famous properties from film and TV are up for rent.
From Harry Potter’s childhood home to Doc Martin’s seaside surgery, these are some of the most famous houses that film fanatics can stay in.
Ranger’s House – Bridgerton
The striking red-brick Georgian mansion, known as the home of the aristocratic Bridgerton family in the hit Netflix drama, is pretty accessible, sitting next to Greenwich Park in South-East London.
While buying it outright might only be affordable to today’s aristocrats, with it valued at £36.7 million, it can be booked for sophisticated events and fancy wedding receptions.
There is space for up to 60 dining guests in amongst the antique furnishings and priceless paintings.
The vast property dates back to the 18th Century and has even housed members of the Royal Family.
The rental price is available on request from English Heritage on their website.
De Vere House – Harry Potter
Better known as Harry Potter’s childhood home, and the scene of his parents’ murder by Lord Voldemort, the charming historic lodge is actually a B&B.
Owned by Anthony Ranzetta and his wife Jane, the large timber-fronted property is found in Lavenham, Suffolk.
Originally built as a hunting lodge for the De Vere family in the 1300s, it was also rented by William Shakespeare from 1601 to 1612.
It’s now available on Airbnb for £160-250 per night, depending on which room you book, with a two-night minimum stay.
Honeysuckle Cottage – The Holiday
This cosy, picturesque cottage was rented by Cameron Diaz in the 2006 rom-com Christmas classic and was the location for her festive romance with dishy single dad Jude Law.
Producers settled on the lovely little property, in Holmbury St Mary, Surrey, as the ‘cutest, smallest, most English cottage’ they could find.
It was bought by Jon and Cressida Bromley for £625,000 in 2019, though the couple hilariously had no idea it was from the film until they read about it in a magazine.
It is now also on Airbnb and comes complete with a log burner, Aga and pretty garden.
It costs £275-295 per night and also has a two-night minimum stay.
Chaplain’s House – Sherlock
This Victorian manor house was the setting for a The Abominable Bride, a special episode of much-loved BBC series Sherlock.
The gothic-revival mansion sits on the edge of the Tyntesfield Estate in Wraxall, Somerset and is owned by the National Trust.
There is space for six guests between three bedrooms, all of which come with original fireplaces, and keen walkers will delight in exploring the extensive grounds.
Another two-night minimum applies here and the lovely home can be booked on the National Trust’s website for £494 per night.
Fern Cottage – Doc Martin
Known as the charming seaside surgery in ITV’s Doc Martin, the old fisherman’s cottage houses Martin Clunes’ title character.
The grade-II listed property is nestled in the hillside of Port Isaac in North Cornwall.
The owners have put it up for sale for £985,000 but will continue to rent it out into the new year, after the final ever episode of the show aired on Christmas Day.
It boasts a stone fireplace, two spacious bedrooms (each offering spectacular sea views), a log burner and well-equipped galley kitchen.
It is available for £330 per night, this time with a three-night minimum stay, on vrbo.
The Bull Pen – Sex Education
Familiar to viewers of Netflix’s hit teen romance comedy, this converted cowshed appears as the home of Gillian Anderson’s character’s love interest Jakob, played by Mikael Persbrandt.
A traditional stone farm building in the Wye Valley, it is also a four-star holiday home which can house nine guests.
Found on a farm in Coleford, Gloucestershire, the 300-year old let is run by owners Louise and Frank McGuinness.
It boasts a full-size snooker table and outdoor hot tub, while guests can even rent the nearby ‘party tent’ for events of up to 30 guests.
This luxury is reflected in the price tag, with a three night stay costing £1,069 on holidaycottages.co.uk and no reduction in price for shorter holidays.
Greenway House – Poirot
Another National Trust property, this beautiful Georgian villa appeared in a 2013 episode of ITV’s long-running murder mystery series, Poirot.
Sir David Suchet starred as the famous detective as he solved a murder in the grounds of the home, found on the banks of the River Dart near Brixham, Devon.
It was even the home of Poirot author Agatha Christie herself, with the Queen of Crime living there from 1938 until her death in 1976.
Fans can rent a four-bedroom apartment in the house from the National Trust’s website, with a three-night minimum stay at £909 in total.
No.28 Huddersfield Road – Last of the Summer Wine
Home to Kathy Staff’s character Nora Batty in the iconic comedy series, this two-up two-down is instantly recognisable to many.
Found in the heart of Holmfirth, West Yorkshire it was bought for £170,000 in 2016 by Richard and Loretta Skelton.
Four guests can rent the property for £325-580 per night from nora-battys.co.uk
