You can now stay in the spooky house from Doctor Who’s recent Knock Knock episode but beware of the Daleks and The Weeping Angels.

The good news is you won’t need a TARDIS to get there because Fields House, which has been a key location for a number of BBC dramas including Sherlock, is in Newport, Wales, which is easily accessible by train or car. Hurrah.

The owners of the property, built back in 1860, have just set it up on AirBnB meaning it can be all yours – temporarily – at the click of a mouse.

Until the next time Doctor Who and the BBC come Knock Knocking that is.

The house played a key part in the latest episode of Doctor Who which saw David Suchet, aka, Poirot, guest star as the mysterious landlord of the house.

And although the episode was released as an immersive experience on the BBC iPlayer nothing quite beats seeing it for yourself does it?

The house also has a history of starring – if that’s the word – in a number of other BBC shows and episodes of Doctor Who.

The building is divided in two and the other half to the one which was used in Knock Knock featured in the 2007 episode Blink which was a favourite among fans after it introduced show-defining monsters The Weeping Angels.

Episode producer Nicki Wilson told the Radio Times: ‘It’s the same building, but the house is sort of in two halves.

‘It’s kind of a semi-detached Gothic mansion, so Blink was actually filmed on the other half of the house.

‘The other half of the house is where Blink is filmed, and actually where we filmed the cellar for this episode.’

It also featured in the Sherlock episode A Study In Pink, where it was called Lauriston Gardens.
