These breathtaking homes across the country are bound to give Lady Whistledown something to write about.

The highly-anticipated Netflix original series Bridgerton is back for a third season and in celebration, the town of Bowral in regional NSW recently transformed into the regency Bridgerton era.

For an entire week, fans of the show immersed themselves in themed shops, indulged in Bridgerton-inspired menus, and took part in writing workshops and croquet.

Fans were even graced with a surprise appearance by stars of the hit TV series Luke Newton and Nicola Coughlan - known as Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington - who flew into Australia for a special launch party in the NSW Southern Highlands.

James Salmond is the owner of Ben Huon Manor which was one of the locations near Bowral that hosted the celebrations.

The architecture of the manor, which is also accommodation, lent itself perfectly to the show’s aesthetic with the design inspired by the 1790 to 1820 English country estate era.

“Bridgerton has definitely created a resurgence around the English regency period, however to find manors like this in Australia is extremely difficult, if not impossible,” explained Mr Salmond.

While face value could have visitors thinking the manor is hundreds of years old, it was in fact built just 26 years ago, designed by Mr Salmond and his wife Sandie then built by his father and mother.

Visitors snapped photos of themselves at the manor throughout the week enjoying a pretend life as a gentile yet drama-reliant resident of Bridgerton.

“Why the Bridgeton fever? I believe it’s because of all the extreme detail and elegance of the period from which Bridgerton is set in,” explained Mr Salmond.

“It's all true we may not be able to live like this all the time but so many love and value the experience of disappearing into the world of Bridgerton through film or through a weekend at Ben Huon Manor.”

Across the country, there are several properties on the market that evoke the elegance of the homes of Bridgerton from an opulent mansion in Clayton South reminiscent of the Queen’s palace to ornate staircases fit for debutants to descend at a Bridgerton ball.

Regal 'modern' manor

‘Chateau Blondel’ could be mistaken for a centuries-old manor, but this four-bedroom, three-bathroom home which is currently on the market was built as recently as 2000.

Inside, the red carpets throughout the home provide an air of sophistication, along with the double French doors and chandeliers in almost every room.

A most unlikely locale

Melburnians are probably unaware of a regal palace located in the unlikely suburb of Clayton South which is why 8 Scott Avenue is the talk of the town.

The home boasts six bedrooms and four bathrooms, substantial manicured gardens, a large water fountain, and a fishpond – providing more than enough discreet spots to discuss the latest Lady Whitledown column.

Quintessential French chateau with ocean views

Bridgerton may have been set in London, but for characters seeking a warmer climate next to the water, this home at 21 Watts Parade in Mount Eliza which has been dubbed ‘Trianon’ is the answer.

A landmark estate in the Adelaide Hills

The landmark home at 14 Orley Avenue was built in 1854 and is currently on the market under expressions of interest.

While this still isn’t as old as the estates featured in Bridgerton, some of which date back to the 1500s, a 170-year-old history still earns this Stirling property some clout.

St Ann’s is set across 1.14 acres of established European gardens with some of Stirling’s oldest trees and trimmed hedges.

The sandstone home has been renovated for a modern family without losing any its original charm including beautifully-crafted cornices, dramatic archways and coffered ceilings.
