What is the name of the house where Mr. Collins lives?

Mr. Collins lives at Hunsford Parsonage in Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice.

Hunsford is a village in Kent, near Rosings Park, the grand estate belonging to Lady Catherine de Bourgh. Mr. Collins becomes rector of Hunsford after inheriting the Longbourn estate in expectation, since the Bennet property is entailed away from the female line. He moves into the parsonage after marrying Charlotte Lucas.

The house is modest but comfortable, and Charlotte manages it carefully. Her practical approach allows her to find satisfaction in a marriage that Elizabeth considers unattractive. Elizabeth visits Hunsford with the Lucases and spends several weeks there, giving the novel a setting for repeated encounters with Darcy and for Darcy’s first proposal.

Rosings is not Mr. Collins’s home: it is Lady Catherine’s estate. Longbourn is the Bennet family home, while Netherfield is the rented estate occupied by Charles Bingley. The word “parsonage” identifies the clergyman’s residence, while “Hunsford” names the village and parish.
