The Bennet house from the 1995 Pride and Prejudice adaptation is for sale

Ever wanted to live in an iconic piece of television history?

Well, for £6million, you can get your hands on the Bennet family home from the 1995 BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice.

The exteriors and interiors of Luckington Court were used to represent Longbourn in the beloved mini-series, which starred Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle.

This Grade II-listed property dates all the way back to the 11th century and retains Tudor features and 16th-century remodelling work.

The principal building has an impressive eight bedrooms and seven bathrooms.

There’s also a reception hall, dining room, study, large drawing room, music room, 17th-century dovecote, sitting room and cellar, in addition to more halls and reception rooms.

In addition to the main house, there’s secondary accommodation, farm buildings and a further five more cottages on the property, which are let on Assured Shorthold Tenancies.

As if that’s not enough to be betting on with, there’s also 18.99 acres of grassland to soulfully wander on.

It has a rich history, too.

It’s thought that Luckington Court is on the site of property previously owned by King Harold II before his death at the Battle of Hastings in 1066.

It was then extended by the Fitzherbert family, who owned the property from the 1630s until the early 1800s.

Woolley & Wallis partner Richard Nocton said: ‘Rarely does a property of this quality and in such a sought-after location come up for sale.

‘Its excellent condition, additional accommodation and manageable land will provide the buyer with not only a desirable estate but a country lifestyle in a rural community and yet, close to the amenities of Cirencester, Bath, Bristol and easy connections to London.’
