A woman who lives next to the UK's most photographed house says she often has to "hide out" at the back of her home to avoid being snapped by tourists.
Georgina Kingshott moved to the picturesque Castle Combe, the Cotswolds, in 2019 after escaping London for a quieter life.
After moving to the village, the 44-year-old soon realised that she was just a few doors down from the most pictured house in Britain, which attracts thousands of visitors every year.
Visitors are keen to see the property after it featured in Doctor Dolittle in 1967 and the village more generally, where filming took place for Stardust in 2007 and War Horse in 2011.
Georgina, a post-doctoral scientist, said: "I dread this time of year, on really hot days it turns into Brighton Beach. I hide out at the back of the house to avoid being snapped - it is the drones that are particularly intrusive.
"It is the price that you pay for living somewhere so idyllic. We have thought about putting signs up telling people this is private land.
"People will wade through the water when it is low and have picnics on the side."
Georgina moved to Castle Combe in November 2016 for a "fresh start" and said it was complete luck that she found a house in the village.
The cottages overlook the Bybrook River - with a view from the nearby bridge up the main street, one of the Cotswolds' most iconic sites due to its chocolate box look.
Despite a fence and clear signs stating the road is private property, she and her neighbours still have to contend with tourists who wander in for a look regardless.
She said: "My neighbours - who I am great friends with - face the brunt of the problem. People are always sneaking through the gate and ignoring the signs.
"People constantly taking pictures can feel invasive - as soon as they see me pull up in the car, they might think I am an eccentric millionaire.
"On a Sunday morning, I sleep with my window open, and I can be woken up by the crowds outside as they start gathering pretty early.
"Even on a day like today when the weather isn't great, there are still lots of people standing outside."
The Bridge House - which has been dubbed the most photographed house in the country - is up for sale. The Grade II-listed three-bed is on sale for a hefty £1.8 million.
The estate agents responsible for selling the property describe the enclosed rear gardens as being "well laid out and private".
The listing reads: "They amount to just under half an acre and provide a calm oasis as they back onto Parsonage Wood.
"The rear gardens are well thought out with a paved seating/patio area leading off the back of the house, which opens up to a large level lawn with pathways to either side, well-stocked flower beds and a few trees."
The Mirror's Julie Delahaye recently visited Castle Combe to see whether the village lived up to the hype.
"The village was full of tourists, walking around and taking photos - we had to slow right down to a crawling pace to avoid any accidents," she wrote.
"Castle Combe is beautiful, there's no doubt about it; picture-perfect stone cottages, cobbled streets and impressive views of the surrounding landscape.
"However... there just isn't much to see and do.
"We had a wander around and it took a grand total of about 10 minutes, and even then that's because we were trying to stretch our legs. The village is tiny, so once you've wandered down the main street and seen the cottages, there's not much else to explore.
"There are a handful of tea rooms and cafes, but we were there at Monday lunchtime and they were closed."
