He inherited it after the death of his older brother and it is described throughout the novel as a well-maintained estate with beautiful and extensive gardens. He and Marianne settle there once they are married, and he gives the parsonage to Edward, who has been disinherited and is now married to Elinor. It is based on the real location of Dorsetshire.
