DANIEL’S PHANTOM ADDRESS
The film Phantom Thread will be released in the UK on February 2 and tells the story of a bachelor dressmaker working during the 1950s whose life becomes a lot harder when he finds love.
Starring Daniel-Day Lewis in what is said to be his final screen role, it also features Lesley Manville as his sister and Vicky Krieps as his lover.
The film has already garnered several awards and Day-Lewis was also nominated at the recent Golden Globes Awards for Best Actor.
The film is up for five gongs at this year’s British Academy Film Awards, too.
Phantom Thread was filmed on location in the UK in two key places – Lythe in North Yorkshire and in Fitzrovia in central London.
In the capital, many of the scenes were shot at a Grade I listed, five-storey, sevenbedroom mansion on Fitzroy Square, which in the film is the workshop and home of the fictional Reynolds Woodcock, played by Day-Lewis.
Within its Georgian walls Woodcock is shown designing and making clothes for royalty and high society, and also wooing his waitress girlfriend.
The Robert Adams-designed terraced property is now for sale. Built in 1790, it features eight reception rooms, private parking, 3.5-metre high ceilings and a full height cantilevered stone staircase.
It has planning permission to turn the rear mews house into separate modern dwellings with a basement pool.
The property is for sale at £15m through Knight Frank (020 3813 3647).
