'Pride and Prejudice' estate asks $10m

Take a leaf out of Jane Austen’s book with this palatial eight-bedroom country estate.

The Bennet family home, featured in the 1995 BBC mini-series Pride and Prejudice, has gone on the market for £6,000,000 ($10.4 million).

Listed by Woolley & Wallis, the regal mansion is located in the dreamy Cotswold village of Luckington.

Pride and Prejudice fans will no doubt recognise the property, with its façade and interiors used as the Longbourn home in the mini-series based on Jane Austen’s book.

The romance novel follows the tumultuous relationship between Elizabeth Bennet, the daughter of the master of Longbourn, and Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy, a wealthy gentleman.

Jennifer Ehle takes on the role as Elizabeth and Colin Firth in the role of Mr. Darcy.

Surrounded by 7.68 hectares of landscaped lawn, ‘Luckington Court’ contains eight spacious bedrooms in the main residence as well as five separate residences.

An active lifestyle is at the forefront with an equestrian facility on offer, farm buildings and stunning pathways in the garden to explore.

The main residence, which has historic interest, is striking with its creamy Cotswold stone exterior.

It’s understood the property is located on the grounds of a mansion that was once owned by King Harold II and dates back to the 11th century.

Modifications have been made to the estate in the 16th Century and later in 1921.

Interiors take on a regal aesthetic with rustic floorboards, ornate ceilings and fireplaces, plush drapes, paneled walls and French Doors that lead out onto the terrace and lawns.

Other standout features of the estate include a drawing room, music room, sitting room and cellar.
