The Church Rooms is a beautifully restored former 19th-century schoolhouse in the heart of a Devon village, offering a characterful, flexible location for filming and photography. Originally built in 1845 as a British (chapel) school, the building retains many of its original features, thick stone walls, deep window reveals, timber floors and subtle historic details, while being thoughtfully updated for modern use. The space has a calm, lived-in feel rather than a polished or overly styled look, making it well suited to naturalistic filming. The property works particularly well for: • Period or heritage-led storytelling • Documentary interviews and observational filming • Family, lifestyle or editorial shoots • Indie drama, short films and branded content • Retreat, countryside or “slow living” visuals The building is arranged over two floors and can be dressed as a family home, rural retreat, schoolroom or neutral interior depending on the shoot. Natural light varies throughout the day, with soft light through original windows and a warm, intimate feel in the evenings. Located in Witheridge, North Devon, the house sits within easy reach of open countryside, village lanes and churchyard settings, with Dartmoor and wider Devon landscapes close by. Parking is available nearby, and access is straightforward for small to medium crews. This is a lived-in, family-designed space rather than a purpose-built studio, so it suits productions looking for authenticity, texture and a sense of place. We’re experienced in working with film and TV crews and are happy to discuss access, dressing, crew size and practical requirements in advance.
