Pype Hayes Hall, Grade II listed Georgian mansion in Pype Hayes, Birmingham, England.
Pype Hayes Hall is a three-story Georgian mansion built in the 1600s with balanced proportions and decorative detailing on both its exterior and interior. The building retains typical features of its era, including large windows, classical details, and well-proportioned rooms that reflect the wealth of its former residents.
The mansion was built in 1630 by Hervey Bagot following his marriage to Dorothy Arden and remained in the Bagot family's hands for over 250 years. The property later changed owners several times before Birmingham City Council sold it to private investors in 2013 who explored converting the building to new purposes.
The estate name refers to an ancient pipe conduit and its association with wealthy families who shaped the property across generations. Visitors can sense how the spaces still reflect the elegance of past inhabitants, even as the building's role in community life has shifted.
The estate sits within a large park with walking paths, green spaces, and a golf course that visitors can explore throughout their time there. The location is easy to navigate on foot and accessible from different parts of the park, so visitors can wander freely and spend as much time as they wish exploring the grounds.
The estate once hosted poet Robert Southey, who worked on a biography while staying there. Today the grounds are part of a large public park with many trees and a stream running through the landscape nearby.
