The Pride and Prejudice estate in Wiltshire is on sale for £6 million

For £6 million, the Wiltshire house that served as the Bennet family’s estate in Pride and Prejudice has been up for sale.

For the first time in more than 70 years, Luckington Court was put up for sale in 2018 for more than £9 million, however it did not sell.

The grade II listed building gained notoriety as the setting for the 1995 cult classic Jane Austen adaption by the BBC, which featured Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy and Jennifer Ehle as Elizabeth Bennet.

Longbourn was the name of the Cotswold stone structure that served as the Bennet family residence and dated back to the eleventh century.

Eight bedrooms, seven bathrooms, an open-concept family kitchen, a dining room with a separate study, a stone open fireplace, a reception area, and a music room are all included in the rebuilt manor home.

Nearly 19 acres of permanent grassland, secondary housing, five more homes, and agricultural facilities are included with the property.

Tudor design elements are present in the country home, including stone mullion windows and a front covered walkway supported by pillars.

The house was put up for sale by Woolley & Wallis at the end of May for bids above £6 million.

According to them, Luckington Court’s exteriors and interiors were utilised in 1995’s BBC television adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, which featured Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle, to highlight Longbourn, the home of the Bennet family.

This magnificent example of an English country mansion offers not only a lovely place to live but also a productive estate with increased agricultural, residential, and commercial revenue streams thanks to its elegantly proportioned rooms, high ceilings, and towering sash windows.

According to legend, King Harold II had a manor there before being wounded in the Battle of Hastings in 1066.

The novel Pride and Prejudice follows Mr. Darcy and Ms. Bennet as they battle prejudice before falling in love.

The house of the Bennet family, Longbourn, was shown on the property in each episode of the BBC production, and it was there that Mr. Darcy first met Elizabeth.

In 1995, the BBC reported that 100,000 box sets were sold and more than 10 million viewers watched the season finale.
