Built in the Tudor-Gothic style this mansion house reveals a treasure trove of aesthetic treats. The ground floor consists of a series of interconnected ornate drawing rooms all possessing original period features with a natural stately grandeur - in a recently renovated condition.

In contrast to this however, is the first floor of institutional rooms and corridors, a basement of slightly shabbier, rustic, vaulted arches and stone corridors, and from its turreted rooftops there are stunning panoramic views over Nonsuch Park (which also happens to be one of Henry VIII’s most monumental achievements).

Complimenting the main house are beautifully manicured gardens, made up of stone walls, arches, tranquil pathways and attractive parkland. With ample parking onsite this Nonsuch Mansion can facilitate all sized productions.

Built around a central quadrant, the main building of Carew Manor School is an imposing 16th Century edifice housing an exquisite ‘Great Hall’ with ornate wood panelling and a late-medieval hammer-beamed roof that dates back to around 1500 and can lay claim to be Suttons’ only Grade I listed property.

This is a striking location that is reminiscent of some iconic buildings such as - Oxford University Colleges, the halls of the Royal palaces at Westminster, Eltham Palace and Hampton Court – this is a perfect ‘doubles’ location. The remainder of the Carew Manor School consists of a gym, a commercial kitchen, classrooms, an abundance of corridors all laid above a labyrinthine network of basement tunnels and rooms, creating an unnerving institutional feel.

Other highlights of this glorious location include a medieval church, a prominent Orangery Wall and stunning majestic Tudor facades of the remaining school buildings. This site also has its own expansive lawns and spectacular grounds. With spacious onsite parking, all sized productions can base themselves at Carew Manor School, which despite being operational, is available at weekends and during school holidays.

These are both classic character locations that have a formal and institutional appeal as well as a potentially darker, unexpected undertone. For site visits please contact Sarah on 0207 284 8905 or by e-mail.
