For Sale => The possible inspiration behind . . .


The house that likely inspired Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice is currently up for sale if you have a cool 7 million euros, with repairs costing approximately 42 million pounds.  Anyone got a good handyman??

At one time the home was owned by the Fourth Earl Fitzwilliam, who many believe is the inspiration behind Austen's Mr. Darcy.  The house sits on 250 acres of gorgeous sprawling greens.  The house is so big, it has 5 miles of corridors and 365 rooms!  You wouldn't have to worry about each kid having their own bedroom here.  The house is so big in fact, that part of it is called "the village" because it takes so long to get too.
