As the third season of Netflix’s period drama “Bridgerton” resumes Thursday, we find Penelope Featherington dizzy from Colin Bridgerton’s sudden marriage proposal. Will these old friends make it to the altar? Will Colin discover Penelope’s earth-shattering secret? And most important of all: Who’s their real estate agent?
While the show is set in London, astute fans may recognize the stately Featherington house as No. 1 Royal Crescent, an 18th-century rowhouse in Bath, England. And while the Bridgerton house is meant to be just across the street, in real life it’s Ranger’s House, a museum located in London’s Greenwich neighborhood.
So, what do the Bridgerton and Featherington property portfolios look like? AgentAdvice, a service providing research and education to real estate professionals, calculated the values of the real-life buildings depicted as “Bridgerton” residences by using local median prices per square foot.
The market price of the 14,000-square-foot 1 Royal Crescent is $6.3 million, based on the current median of $448 per square foot in Bath. Ranger’s House is a bit more valuable: $8 million, at $560 per square foot. Obviously, Queen Charlotte takes the crown for home value: The 16th-century Hampton Court Palace, in the London borough of Richmond, was home to King Henry VIII and all his six wives. Its estimated worth, at $790 a square foot, is over $560 million.
Like all the locations in this week’s chart, Hampton Court Palace is a preserved national treasure, and not coming to market anytime soon. But you don’t need to buy it — all the properties here are open to the public for visits.
