– I never imagined how much interest there would be around this. That quite strange. I don’t think it’s flattering, says the property’s current owner Charles Stopford Sackville The Guardian.
The film was shot at Drayton House in Northamptonshire, which is believed to have been built as far back as 1328. No one in the film production was allowed to reveal the name or location of the property, according to Vanity Fair.
But the grand estate was already identified as Drayton House when the movie trailer was released.
And the interest from the film’s fans has now led to people entering the private property to take pictures of themselves in front of the house, explains the owner, who says that at least 50 revelers have been caught by security guards.
The plot revolves around Oxford student Oliver who becomes smitten with rich fellow student Felix, who invites Oliver to spend the summer holidays at the family’s luxurious Saltburn estate.
“Saltburn” has garnered good criticism from reviewers and has been rewarded with a number of awards.
