A FIVE-bedroom Georgian Somerset home is up for sale – having been kept in the same family for more than 120 years.

The Birches, in Mill Lane, Congresbury, North Somerset, is being marketed by Robin King Estate Agents with a guide price of some £1.25 million.

“Kept in the same family for over 120 years, it offers refined living in the heart of a village, with private gardens, garaging and easy access to Bristol and beyond,” the listing said.

“Tucked away on a private 0.77 acre plot in the picturesque village of Congresbury, this elegant Grade II Listed Georgian house offers a rare combination of historic charm and modern comfort.

“Thoughtfully restored and beautifully maintained, the property provides elegant yet practical living in a peaceful setting.”

High ceilings and original period features feature throughout, the listing said, including sash windows with shutters, ornate fireplaces, and period floor tiles.

Outside, the property boasts an “enchanting walled garden — an original period design with flagstone paths, established planting, and secluded seating areas”.

“It offers a perfect setting for outdoor entertaining or quiet relaxation, providing a private, green sanctuary within the grounds,” the listing said.

Elsewhere, a modern double garage and a large driveway offer ample parking, while wrought iron gates, as well as CCTV.

“Situated on a quiet no-through road, the house enjoys a sense of seclusion while being part of a vibrant village community,” the listing added.

“This is a rare opportunity to own an historic home of real quality, combining Georgian elegance with modern-day practicality — an ideal family house or a peaceful retreat.”
