Moreton House: Warwickshire’s Most Magnificent Georgian Residence
Positioned on the edge of Warwick’s picturesque Moreton Morell is a truly enchanting Grade II listed Georgian residence, surrounded by over 3 acres of landscaped grounds, which include exclusive access to a private tennis court and several idyllic fishponds. On the market for £2.5 million through leading property specialists Butler Sherborn, this breathtaking 7-bedroom property serves as an exceptional example of Georgian grandeur, retaining many of its original period features and 18th-century design elements throughout, exquisitely showcased across the property’s vast living and entertainment spaces that extend across three separate floors.
Moreton House is approached via a set of striking wrought iron gates, which open onto a large gravel parking area and driveway, bordered by mature yew hedging. Upon entering the property, buyers are greeted by a handsome reception hall, with access to a discreet downstairs cloakroom and bathroom area. The ground floor accommodates the property's seven separate living and entertainment spaces, including a sitting room and ‘snug’, both boasting characterful period features such as intricate cornicing, elaborate fireplaces and vast ceiling heights.

The ground floor also contains a modernised kitchen and breakfast room, with access to an adjoining pantry and separate utility area. The kitchen opens onto an impressive dining room, featuring floor-to-ceiling double doors with fabulous views overlooking the garden. The dining room also presents access to the formal drawing room, a bright and elegant space featuring an ornate fireplace and decorative cornicing throughout. Finally, the ground floor also showcases a stunning orangery, serving as a glorious transition point between the house and its incredible landscaped gardens.
The first and second floors currently comprise seven bedrooms, two of which are en-suites, along with a family bathroom situated on the first floor. The principal suite features a fabulous dressing room, with excellent storage solutions fitted throughout. Other amenities include a selection of outbuildings, including a workshop, coach house and double garage. In the basement of the property, buyers will also have access to a traditional wine cellar.
The property’s beautifully landscaped grounds are ideal for hosting large outdoor events and summer parties. There is a walled vegetable garden with a picturesque fishpond nearby, the further you venture, you are then met with sweeping lawns bordered by established beds and mature yew trees, leading down to a striking brick Ha-ha. These steps flow onto open grassland, which run down to two more interconnecting ponds. Within the grounds, buyers will also find a hard floodlit tennis court with a state-of-the-art timber summerhouse.
