Description
The Pinley Abbey Estate is a truly unique and very special property, with
great historical and architectural interest. It has been in the same family
ownership for many years.
The origins of the property date back to the 12th Century, with a Cistercian
nunnery called Pinley Priory being originally located on the site. The
majority of the current main house, Pinley Abbey,
dates from the mid - 15th Century.
The Estate comprises four principle detached dwellings, three of which are
Grade II* Listed, together with a further period barn conversion. All are
presented in very good order throughout, with
many retained, preserved and original period features in each of the
properties.
There is an extensive range of useful traditional and modern farm buildings,
with potential for future alternative uses (subject to obtaining the necessary
planning consents).
The property could suit either a lifestyle, agricultural or equestrian buyer,
with a large number of stables plus indoor and outdoor arenas. The well
maintained land is in a ring fence and mainly
pasture. In all the property extends to about 99. 42 acres.
History of pinley Abbey Estate
“The remains of Pinley Priory are situated close to the Grade II* Listed
Pinley Abbey.
Pinley Priory, also called Pinley Abbey, was a Cistercian nunnery in the
parish of Rowington in Warwickshire, England. It was founded in the early 12th
century and dissolved in 1536.
The site of the priory is now occupied by the lands and buildings of Pinley
Abbey and only traces now survive of the original priory buildings.
The present Pinley Abbey, a Grade II* listed building, dates from the mid - 15th
century with later alterations. It incorporates part of a wall believed to
have been part of an earlier monastic building, that also extends beyond it.
To the north - west there is a cottage, originally 14th century but also later
altered, that was probably once the priory guest house, also Grade II* listed.
Various surviving earthworks, and re - used bits of masonry worked into later
buildings, give further clues to the original complex. ”
