Hylands House Chelmsford Essex

Описание: Hylands House is a Grade II* neo-classical villa situated within Hylands Park a 232-hectare (574 acre) park southwest of Chelmsford in Essex in South East England. It is owned and operated by Chelmsford City Council. The last private owner lived in Hylands House until her death in 1962. It was in 1966, with the house in a desperate state of disrepair, that Chelmsford Borough Council purchased the Park for the people of Chelmsford to enjoy. Hylands Park was opened to the public only 10 days later. It was agreed by Chelmsford Borough Council that Hylands House should be restored to its former glory and having stood empty for 20 years, the first phase of restoration took place in 1986. The final stage was completed in September 2005. From 1996 until 2017, the park hosted the annual V Festival. In 2018 it became RiZE Festival which ran for 1 year. In 2022, Creamfields then took over the annual festival which subsequently named Creamfields South Festival.
In the 2004 film Chasing Liberty, Hylands House doubled as the US White House. In 2005 Hylands Park was the venue for the European Scout Jamboree and in 2007 Hylands welcomed scouts from over 160 nations for the 21st World Scout Jamboree, which celebrated 100 years of scouting. The One World Garden was created to commemorate this historic event, and now forms part of the estate.
In 2019, the Netflix series The Crown Season 3, Hylands House was again used as a double for the White House.
The Stables section of the house is now an Arts Quarter.
