Description

Moor Barns Farm is a four-bedroom detached country residence with approximately 3,000 sq ft of accommodation, set within about 4.92 acres near Orton-on-the-Hill. The house includes a reception hall, a large sitting room with a fireplace and French doors to the patio, a kitchen and dining area with an Aga, a further reception room, snug, pantry, rear lobby and ground-floor WC. Upstairs are four double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a principal bedroom suite with dressing room and en-suite shower room. Two bedrooms also open onto a balcony overlooking the grounds. The grounds include landscaped gardens, a patio, orchard, vegetable garden, aviary, summer house and five paddocks. Equestrian facilities comprise two stable blocks with ten stables in total, a rug room, feed room, wash box, WC, muck heap and a 20m by 40m ménage. A separate red-brick building of approximately 1,100 sq ft is described as recently renovated and has exposed beams and large windows; the listing notes possible office, guest or annexe uses, subject to consent. Two further stables and a store are attached. The property is approached by a private, tree-lined drive with a right of way from Pipe Lane. The listing states that planning permission has been granted for a replacement Huf Haus dwelling, an associated annexe and landscaping works. The approved scheme, the scope of any consent for alternative uses of the outbuilding, and the practical requirements of the equestrian facilities should be checked as part of due diligence. Atherstone, Tamworth and Ashby are nearby, with the M42/A42 stated to be around six miles away.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

34out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

The standout here is the country setting and working equestrian setup: just under five acres, five paddocks, ten stables and a 20m x 40m ménage, alongside a detached annexe and generous reception spaces. The maintained gardens and grounds add to the appeal, while the photographed interiors look clean and usable; traditional finishes offer scope for selective cosmetic updating rather than a clearly evidenced major renovation. Planning permission for a replacement dwelling is also stated in the listing, but the consent and its conditions should be checked.

Worth weighing the all-in picture: combining the asking price with a non-cosmetic refurb leaves all-in costs stretched versus area norms for this size — around 34% above what similar-sized stock commands locally today. That is why the overall grade stays low; we have not forecast value after improvement.

Key opportunities

  • Equestrian facilities are a major differentiator, with ten stables, a ménage and five paddocks already in place.
  • The annexe, landscaped gardens, orchard and generous patio provide useful flexibility and outdoor amenity.
  • Selective cosmetic updates could bring the traditional kitchen and reception finishes closer to a buyer’s taste.

Key risks

  • At this asking price, the purchase plus a works programme would remain stretched against local benchmarks for a property of this floor area.
  • All-in costs look stretched when the asking price sits alongside the indicated works scale — around 34% above what similar-sized stock commands locally today; post-works value sits outside our data.
