Rosings Park is the palatial estate of the de Bourgh family, and located in Kent, near Hunsford Parsonage (the house that Lady Catherine bequeathed to Mr. Collins).
Description[]
Rosings is a large, beautiful modern building, with a nice park. Mr. Collins also stated that the windows at the front of the house as well as the glazing had cost Sir Lewis a pretty sum. The entrance hall was finely-proportioned with finished ornaments, and off the hall was an anti-chamber.
Sir William Lucas, who had been presented at St. James's Palace in London, was in awe of Rosings even though he had seen the palace[1]. However, when Elizabeth compared Pemberley with Rosings, she noted that the latter was opulent while the former was truly elegant, and the latter actually had some impressions of gaudiness.

Heiress[]
Anne de Bourgh, the sickly daughter of Sir Lewis and Lady Catherine, is the heiress of the estate, as they 'never saw fit to entail the land'.[1]
Trivia[]
- In the 1995 miniseries adaptation, Belton House, in Grantham, Lincolnshire, served as the exterior of Rosings Park.
- In the Pride and Prejudice (2005) adaptation, Burghley House was used as the filming location for Rosings Park.[2][3] It seems like it was used for both the exterior and interior[4]
