Moor Farm Barns

We are proud to offer this Ten Bedroom Detached Property – all interest and OFFERS are INVITED.


Moor Farm Barns is a superbly designed property providing extensive accommodation, inspired by the various range of surrounding Lincolnshire barns. It has been built to a fantastic standard with a variety of high specification materials and offers substantial space both to the interior and exterior.

The property is located around five miles from Lincoln in a pleasant and idyllic setting behind a four acre paddock and manège, close to Doddington Hall, an impressive and historical late Elizabethan mansion with beautiful gardens and amenities, and is just twenty minutes from Newark with direct rail services to London, giving it the edge of being in a tranquil setting but with easy access to the hustle and bustle of the city.

The barns had been renovated by the current owner from near the end of 2009 and was completed in March 2011.

“The barns were ruins when I bought the place at the end of 2009. I wanted to put it back to its former self so I built it up again using high quality, reclaimed or handmade materials on the footprint of the old barns – for instance, the terracotta pantiles are handmade by highly reputed William Blyth, with their traditional techniques and an ecologically friendly ethos. It was eventually completed in March 2011”

“I wanted to create something very special and unique! It is very rare to find anything like this round here in such a quiet setting surrounded by lovely open fields, and rooms of such huge proportions. The oak trusses in the kitchen diner I wanted to provide a gothic church or barn-like feel with great drama, and the double-height glazing is where the original barn doors would have been”

“The kitchen is bespoke, handmade and painted in Farrow & Ball with granite worktops; it houses a large Rangemaster cooker with gas hob and has an integrated dishwasher, two fridges, and a freezer”

“There are four and a half miles of underfloor heating pipes due to the area they had to cover yet the property is very economical to run with double-glazed, handmade timber windows and doors and so much top-notch insulation, and of course the solar panels help by feeding into a tariff as well as heating the hot water”

“I decided to move into the annex and try renting the rest out; it proved such a popular venue for that it rather took over! I have done holiday lets and been over-run with hen parties! And everyone always wants to come back. There’s a Whirlpool bath that seats four inside and a Party Spa outside that seats sixteen! It was brilliant here during lockdown with sixteen family members staying here for the duration”

“There is such flexibility over how to run the place – it could just be a huge, luxurious, family home, or an equestrian property, naturally, with the paddocks and manège (which is properly draining with a rubber and sand topping). I received planning permission to erect a stable block but it has lapsed; I’m sure it would be easy to get it reinstated”

“It’s a very elite and private place surrounded by space, with just one quiet neighbour in the - also rebuilt - farmhouse next door. The long drive behind the automatic gates leads up to a turning circle where you could park at least ten cars.”
