“Netherfield Park is let at last!” go the famous opening words from Mrs Bennet in Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. To her delight, the estate has been taken on by the eligible newcomer Mr Bingley – a “single man in possession of a good fortune” – who brings new marital opportunities for her five unmarried daughters.
In the beloved 1995 BBC television adaptation of Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, Edgcote House in Northamptonshire was chosen as the location for Netherfield Park. Edgcote is a stunning Georgian manor, built in the mid-18th century, in an elegant landscaped park. In summer 2026, the estate is up for sale – ready and waiting for its next eligible owner (though they’ll need a bit more cash than Bingley’s four or five thousand a year).
