Founded by William Pantulf in AD 1154, Langley was a Benedictine Priory until Henry VIII's Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1536.

Post dissolution the original structure was demolished and the two wings of the present house were built in 1570 by re-using the Norman stone from the ruined Castle at Donington.

The middle section linking the two wings was built in 1690 and a Victorian annexe was added to the North Wing in1888.

This extremely beautiful house sits in a secluded hollow rendering it invisible from any road and was described in the 1840's as "one of the finest manorial type houses in Leicestershire". The house is home to a fine collection of sixteenth century tapestries and some beautiful medieval stained glass.

Grade II* listed, Langley Priory sits in the midst of extensive parkland where cattle and sheep graze throughout the year. The house's formal gardens which were created in the 1780's consist of three large ornamental lakes, acres of manicured lawns, rose gardens and innumerable ancient specimen trees. More recent additions include a tall 75ft fountain in front of the house and tumbling cascades which link the three lakes.

The house is accessed by two privately owned drives each almost a mile long and is surrounded by hundreds of acres of farmland and woodland - if privacy is paramount then Langley Priory can provide the ultimate in exclusivity and seclusion.

Langley Priory remains a private family home.
