This country home is in a lovely location with far-reaching views, attractive gardens, an annex and equestrian facilities, all set in 4.92 acres – and with planning permission to remodel the main house.
Moor Barns Farm is in open countryside to the south of the rural village of Orton on the Hill, in Warwickshire. Local amenities are in the nearby towns of Atherstone, Tamworth and Ashby. The midlands motorway network is within easy reach with the M42/A42 six miles away, making commuting to Birmingham and beyond convenient.
The town of Nuneaton is 13 miles away, while the cities of Leicester and Birmingham are 20 miles and 25 miles away, respectively.
Local equestrian centres include Weston Lawns, which is around 35 minutes away (15 miles), plus there is Markfield (14 miles) and Onley Grounds (36 miles), to name a couple of others nearby.
Pool House Equine Hospital (13 miles) is 25 minutes from the front door for any veterinary needs.
You can head to Solihull Riding Club (26 miles) for cross-country schooling when the ground allows and there’s plenty of other facilities on offer there, too. And if hunting is more your thing, you could head out with the Warwickshire.
Moor Barns Farm is on the market with Howkins & Harrison for £1.3m. Let’s take a look around…

Externally, the garden has been well designed with a large patio area with access from all reception rooms. There is also a summerhouse.
To the right of the house is a red brick building which has been recently renovated with a new roof, repointing and porch. Internally, the self-contained unit has exposed wooden beams and large windows. Attached to the annex there are two red brick stables and a store shed. This building would make an ideal office for working from home, grooms’ quarters or as an annexe to the main house, subject to the necessary planning permissions.
