Lyme Park, the historic estate in Cheshire, England, that served as the exterior of Pemberley in the 1995 BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, has been listed for sale at £45 million. The property, a Grade I listed building, is set on 1,400 acres of parkland and includes a 17th-century mansion.
The sale is being handled by Savills, which confirmed the listing on May 21, 2026. The estate was previously owned by the National Trust, but was sold to a private buyer in 2023 for an undisclosed sum. The current owner has now put it on the market.
The 1995 BBC series, starring Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy and Jennifer Ehle as Elizabeth Bennet, famously used Lyme Park as the fictional Pemberley. The lake and gardens featured in the iconic scene where Darcy walks through the mist.
Lyme Park's real history dates back to the 16th century, with the current house built in the 1570s. It was given to the National Trust in 1946, but the trust sold it in 2023 to raise funds for other conservation projects.
