ancestral seat
Hereditary family home
An ancestral seat is the historic home or estate associated with a particular family, typically aristocratic, over many generations.
The term seat here means residence or dwelling place, emphasizing that this is where the family has been established and rooted.
Blenheim Palace has been the ancestral seat of the Dukes of Marlborough since 1704.
The phrase carries connotations of lineage, inheritance, and old wealth, and appears most often in British contexts.
