Five exquisite Regency style homes for sale across the UK
Regency era aesthetics have always been in style. Thanks to amazing period dramas and the work of Jane Austen, more of us are drawn to the elegant, classical architecture
There’s something so refined and elegant about Regency style. The early 19th century era (1811 to 1820 officially), is characterised by a resurgence of romanticism, decorative arts and elegant design. Heavily influenced by Greek and Roman styles, Regency architecture is ornate, symmetrical and classical.
This enchanting style makes a wonderful backdrop. Hence its use on the big and small screen. When Bridgerton hit our screens in 2020, viewers devoured tales of high society families in Regency-era Britain. The drama, the passion, and importantly, the style made Bridgerton an absolute phenomenon.
But before Bridgerton, there was Jane Austen. 2025 marks the 250th anniversary of her birth, with celebrations in Hampshire, Bath and other locations that played a key role in her life. First and foremost in print, but then on screen, numerous adaptations of her classic novels have been made. Who can forget Colin Firth and Matthew Macfadyen as Mr Darcy? Or Gwyneth Paltrow, and more recently Anya Taylor-Joy, as Emma?
