Keira Knightley and Colin Farrell spent last week at Hammerwood Park filming their latest film, London Boulevard, a contemporary crime drama.House owner, David Pinnegar is something of an expert when it comes to hosting film crews and was un-phased at meeting the celebrities.
He said: "We've had pop videos shot here for Victoria Beckham, The Darkness and Mel C and we've had fashion shoots for Laura Ashley and they're going to be using the house for the location for their Autumn collection."
Mr Pinnegar said the film crew invited the whole village to the set to see what was going on.
"They created a lake and from what I've seen it's going to be well worth going to see. I was reading the script and seeing the shots through the camera, I think it's going to be very atmospheric and gripping," he said.
The house was derelict until 1982 before Mr Pinnegar and his family restored it and has been used for films ever since.
"The house is used partly because I know what I'm doing and I'm film friendly. It's a great location and it's a spectacular house," he added.
