A METICULOUS RESTORATION PROJECT

The creation of just 10 no. 2, 3 and 4 bedroom homes from this historic building is truly a labour of love. Working in harmony with the existing historic building and with the original neo-classical design embedded at the heart of the development, the external historic fa?ade with its classical pediment elevations belies a modern interior, layout and specification second to none. Set around the front courtyard, dominated by the double height archway with its pedimented feature clock, are eight 2 and 3 bedroom mews houses.

NAPIER MILES HOUSE - A BRIEF HISTORY

Home to, and inspiration of many distinguished diplomats, politicians, philanthropists, architects and musicians, the history of the Manor of Kings Weston goes as far back as the Doomsday Book.The last Squire of Kings Weston House was Philip Napier Miles, a gifted musician and patron of music. Ralph Vaughan Williams completed his work The Lark Ascending in 1920 whilst a guest of the Squire. This sublime work received its first public performance in December 1920 at the Shirehampton Public Hall with Marie Hall, Philip Napier Miles protg as lead violinist. But it is the Southwell family, whose development of the estate from 1702 1833, that is of real interest here.In 1763 Sir Edward Southwell engaged renowned architect Robert Mylne, architect of Londons Blackfriars Bridge, to design the stables, kitchen gardens and lodges on estate land north east of the Mansion House. Whilst the building is an early example of neo-classical architecture, the tall elegant archway has a story all of its own. Legend has it, that the Squire at that time also had an interest in exotic animals. It is rumoured that he requested the archway be tall enough to accommodate a fully grown giraffe, hence its height. The stables were never, to anyones knowledge, home to the even-toed ungulate and have long since said goodbye to their equine residents.They are however in the process of being restored to their original glory, and in the process creating 8 individual and spacious mews cottages with two substantial modern houses to the rear.The opportunity now presents itself to be part of this historical journey.

A short drive away the village of Westbury on Trym provides plentiful shopping as doShirehampton and Sea Mills.
