As a result, hundreds of

TikTokers

approach the mansion

show their followers

what it is like, from afar, the mansion where

Barry Keoghan

Murder on the Dancefloor

.

What's more, its owner,

Charles Stopford Sackville

, says that his staff must

"patrol the area",

Despite this, Sackville does not complain excessively.

The reason?

Every time his house appears on TV

or online,

its price increases in value.

Until now, the aristocrat has not revealed

how much the production of the film paid him

for its use, but he has indicated that it is a

large sum of money,

which influenced "100%" his decision to rent his house with more 700 years old.

"I did it because these types of properties are not financed with water," he told a tabloid.

However, Charles Stopford Sackville's business is nothing new.

According to numerous British media, there are some

nobles who make a living by offering

their castles for audiovisual projects.

For example,

Lord and Lady Edward Manners,

who have rented their house in Haddon Hall, Derbyshire on three occasions for

three different versions of Jayne Eyre.

In addition, its halls and some of its rooms, which date back to the 12th century, have been used for well-known films, such as

The Boleyn Sisters.

They are

"delighted"

that celebrities such as

Judi Dench, Liv Tyler and Kit Harrington

have walked the halls of their home.

But they feel even happier to have received

significant remuneration

for their participation in those films.

The couple

has not revealed how much they charge

per hour or day of filming.

Although he has dared to confess that the number

"contributes highly to the restoration of his property."

Something similar to what the aristocrat

Philip Sidney,

the owner of a 14th century palace, explains, where two other period films have been recorded.

"We are talking about considerable checks,"

said the owner of the well-known building in Kent, who was interviewed for a

Daily Mail report,

where a long list of nobles appears who

increase their fortune

thanks to the film industry.

Among them,

Lord Camoys - owner of an estate in Oxfordshire, where a

Bond

film was filmed

in 1987 and

A Christmas Carol

in 2019 - and

Richard FitzHerbert, who lives in the mansion where the series

Peak Practice

and another adaptation of Jane

were filmed.

BBC Eyre.

FitzHerbert also did not point out

the number of pounds

he has accumulated.

But he did confirm that, on occasion, he has been paid

1,500 for a day of recording

and that when it comes to a large production "that figure could

rise to double

. "

When businesswoman Helen Gill bought her house in Yorkshire, she learned that Netflix had booked the site to film

The War Below.

"This could be a business. Who knows? We could

be the next Downton Abbey,"

she told the newspaper.
