What is the name of the Bennet family's home?

The Bennet family’s home is named Longbourn. In Pride and Prejudice, Longbourn House is the Bennet estate near the fictional Hertfordshire town of Meryton, where Mr. and Mrs. Bennet live with their five daughters.

Longbourn is both a family home and a valuable landed property. Mr. Bennet’s estate provides an annual income of about £2,000, but it is subject to an entail that directs the property through the male line. Because the Bennets have no son, the estate is expected to pass to their distant cousin, Mr. William Collins, rather than to one of the daughters.

Readers sometimes mix Longbourn up with nearby residences. Netherfield is the house rented by Mr. Bingley, Pemberley is Darcy’s Derbyshire estate, and Rosings Park belongs to Lady Catherine. Longbourn is also the title of Jo Baker’s 2013 novel, which retells Austen’s story from the servants’ perspective, but the name originally belongs to the Bennet household in the 1813 novel.
