Birdcombe Court is a rare Grade II* medieval manor on almost two acres, combining 13th‑century fabric with sensitive later additions and a dramatic glass-fronted contemporary wing. The house offers exceptionally generous rooms, high ceilings, a chapel, extensive reception space and six ensuite bedrooms across multiple floors — ideal for buyers seeking a principal country home with history and presence.
The grounds and ancillary buildings enhance practical living: a coach house (currently a pottery studio), three-bay stable block with garaging, potting shed, summerhouse and well-vegetated paddocks. Parking is plentiful with two driveways and off-street areas; an EV charging point is installed at the coach house. The location balances seclusion with accessibility — around 20 minutes’ drive to Bristol and a short drive to Nailsea and local schools.
Important considerations are clear and factual. The property’s Grade II* listing protects historic fabric but will restrict alterations and can complicate repairs or upgrades; any proposed work will require listed‑building consent. Broadband is very slow, which may affect home working or streaming. Council tax is very expensive (Band H). The house’s scale and age mean ongoing maintenance and specialist conservation works are likely and should be budgeted for.
For a family or buyer seeking an exceptional historic country residence close to Bristol, Birdcombe Court offers provenance, space and character unmatched by modern equivalents. Buyers should factor in listed‑building responsibilities, maintenance budgets and current service limitations when considering the purchase.
