The most viewed homes for sale in Britain this year have been revealed, with a Wiltshire country estate that featured in a hit TV drama at the top of the pile.
The Grade II listed house in Wiltshire’s Chippenham is called Luckington Court and it was used to bring Long Bourn, the Bennet family home, to life on screen in the BBC’s TV adaptation of Austen’s Pride and Prejudice.
The 1995 TV adaptation of Pride and Prejudice starred Colin Firth and proved a huge success, with a reported 10 million people watching the final episode of the six-part drama.
This property in Chippenham is the most viewed property on Rightmove this year and is on the market for £5million (scroll down for more details)
The Cotswold property was also rumoured, at one stage, to be the new home of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
However, Prince Harry and Meghan went on to move into Frogmore Cottage before then heading to start a new life in the US.
The Cotswolds house is two miles from Badminton, comes with 19 acres of grassland, and is next to the church on the edge of the village of Luckington.
It is on the market for £5million, which is among the less expensive properties in Rightmove’s most viewed properties online this year.
The list of homes range in price from a £4million property overlooking the sea in Cornwall to a six-bedroom detached home in North London, which has an eye-watering price tag of £35million.
Rightmove’s Tim Bannister, said: ‘From homes with years of history, to contemporary pads with every modern feature available, this year millions of people have been looking at the most amazing homes on the market.
‘Many of us have thought about where we could live if money was no object, and this shows in the most viewed homes of the year which have captured the imagination of people across Britain during 2022.’
