The English manor known as Luckington Court was used as the Bennet family home.
. The site in which Luckington Court was built, while recognizable to Janeites, holds more significance than just a filming location. It also has a royal connection as it was previously owned by King Harold II sometime before 1066—he was later killed in the Battle of Hastings.The two-story primary residence has been sympathetically updated by its current owners, the Horn family, who have occupied the space since 1947.
Throughout these elegant, well-appointed spaces are ornate woodwork, stone fireplaces and limestone flagged floors. The home also includes a drawing room, music room, study and cellar.Equally as notable are the grounds—the heritage house’s surroundings hold just as much character. On site are a 400-year-old Lebanese Cedar tree, a rose garden with a Dolphin fountain, a wild meadow orchard and nearly 19 acres of grassland.
