Kingston Bagpuize House, built around 1660 and remodeled in the early 1700s, exemplifies classic Georgian architecture with its distinctive cantilevered staircase and elegant proportions. This Grade II* listed family home has been lovingly maintained by the same family since 1939, preserving its intimate domestic character while sharing its beauty with visitors. The house sits in parkland featuring magnificent gardens including a restored 18th-century woodland garden with spring bulbs and rare shrubs. The combination of architectural elegance and lived-in warmth has made it an ideal location for period dramas seeking authentic country house interiors. **Filming Scenes:** Kingston Bagpuize portrayed Lord Merton's residence in Series 5 and 6, where Isobel Crawley's romantic storyline with Lord Merton unfolded. The Entrance Hall and Drawing Room witnessed the delicate negotiations between Isobel and Lord Merton, complicated by his sons' disapproval. Dame Maggie Smith and Dame Penelope Wilton filmed pivotal scenes here, including the Dowager Countess's interventions in Isobel's romantic affairs. The house's genuine Georgian domesticity, smaller in scale than Downton, perfectly represented Lord Merton's position as a respectable but not grand aristocrat, making Isobel's potential match both suitable and controversial.
