Do you recognise the front of this house? The glass-fronted mansion features in the second series of the gripping BBC drama Doctor Foster. In the first episode, viewers saw Gemma (Suranne Jones) snoop around the home after discovering her ex-husband Simon Foster (Bertie Carvel) had bought the property and was moving back to Parminster with his new wife Kate Parks (Jodie Comer).
In the first episode of the second series, Gemma referred to the huge house as costing £1 million, but in real life, this house is worth up to £6 million, according to reports. It's actually a prefabricated house in St George's Hill, one of the most sought-after parts of Surrey.
The glass exterior home is a four-bedroom, five-bathroom property with open plan living, spacious rooms flooded with light and bold, quirky interiors.
For filming, the actual owners of the house moved out of the property – with all of their furniture in tow – for several weeks during filming. They were paid about £5,000 a day, reports the Mail on Sunday.
The prefabricated home was built by manufacturers Huf Haus at their factory in Germany and then shipped over in parts to the UK. It was then constructed on site within a week with a team of around 40 to 50 craftsmen.
Huf Haus 'constructs exclusively one-off architectural houses optimised to suit the on-site conditions and the desires of the inhabitants.' They manufacture the type of homes that showcase exceptional architecture, and modern, open-plan living.
While most of the bearing components are made of timber, the high-tech triple insulating glass with a reflective layer is a key feature: it keeps the house warm on the inside, yet stops the house from heating up in strong direct sunlight.
