The history

‘Kings Weston House is one of Bristol’s forgotten treasures – in its time it has entertained kings and sheltered wounded soldiers – but for many years it languished in the shadows, seen fleetingly by motorists rushing along the M5.

The current Kings Weston House was built between 1710 and 1723 on the site of an Elizabethan manor house.

Its colourful history has included becoming a hospital for soldiers wounded during the First World War, and as a training centre for the CID in the 1970s.

Situated high up on a hill overlooking the Severn Estuary and Avonmouth, the 28 acres of wooded parkland surrounding Kings Weston House are popular with local walkers.

Although only small by stately home standards – just 18 bedrooms, 12 of which would have been servants quarters – Kings Weston House has some unique features.

Owners the Southwell family had commissioned esteemed architect Sir John Vanbrugh, designer of Blenheim Palace, to create their new home.’
