HISTORY Local history of the surrounding area places Luckington Court on the site of a manor owned by King Harold II before 1066 who was killed that year in the Battle of Hastings, so there is a known potential royal connection. Placed in the Domesday Book its name has been given as Lochintone.

Built in local creamy Cotswold stone, Luckington Court was first extended and remodeled in a 16th Century or earlier core by the Fitzherbert family, who had purchased in 1632 and continued to own until the early 1800's. There were further additions including the service wing to the north by the Johnson-Ferguson family in 1921.

Lt-Col Trevor Horn and his family purchased Luckington Court in 1947; he was renowned in the area for being the first director of the world's most prestigious three day event, Badminton Horse Trials and remained at the helm until 1956.

In 1995, Luckington Court had exteriors and interiors used to showcase Longbourn, the Bennet family home, in the BBC's TV series Pride and Prejudice, which starred Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle. Lt-Col Horn's daughter returned to Luckington Court in 2003 and since then, has conducted a compassionate programme of improvement and modernisation across the whole Estate.

This exemplary English country dwelling house, with its elegant well-proportioned rooms, good ceiling heights and tall sash windows, provides not only a wonderful home and place to live but also a profitable Estate, with expanded farming, residential and commercial income streams.
