The owners of a cottage that featured in Netflix drama Bridgerton are seeking to rebuild it after it was destroyed by fire. Laundry Cottage and its stable yards, at Wrotham Park, Hertfordshire, were gutted by a blaze in July 2022.
Its owners have now applied for planning permission to completely rebuild it and preserve "as much of the existing fabric as possible". The plans, submitted to Hertsmere Borough Council, revealed the cottage interiors were almost destroyed in the blaze.
"As a result of the fire, the roofs of the stable block, vehicle store and Laundry Cottage are nearly totally destroyed," a planning statement said. "The interior of the stables and vehicle store were also gutted, with more of the internal finishes severely damaged, both by the fire and then subsequently from the firefighting efforts."
