New show home for barn conversions

At the stylish conversion of Manor Barns in Twyford, Bourne Homes has created a new show home which perfectly demonstrates the superb and varied accommodation on offer and the lifestyle this suggests.

The history of these barns is fascinating. Forming part of the courtyard is an old granary on staddle stones, which was traditionally used to store grain and raised off the ground. Some of the barns were used for threshing of the grain, others to keep horses and cattle, and also for general storage. Each barn is unique with its own history and all now beautifully restored and imaginatively adapted to provide wonderful character accommodation in this lovely rural location which is within easy reach of village and city amenities.

The luxury interiors are finished in a contemporary style; excellent kitchens with integrated Siemens appliances and induction hobs and stylish bathrooms with Duravit sanitary ware and Hans Grohe taps. These are homes with smart contemporary fittings, whilst retaining the character of the buildings, including lovely exposed timbers on the inside and a lovely variety of external finishes such as brick and flint or timber-clad with feature windows.

One of the purchasers at Manor Barns commented: “I never thought I could ever leave Winchester. Always said I needed to live within walking distance of the town centre. That is until I went and looked at Manor Barns.

“I've lived in the country before and whilst I loved the nature, peacefulness and feeling of light and space, I always missed the buzz of the town and loathed the car journey of 20 minutes or so to the nearest shops.

“Here at Manor Barns we are so close to Winchester, it literally can take just 6 or 7 minutes and I am back in the hustle and bustle of city life. We really do get the best of both worlds living here and feel incredibly privileged to live in such a unique development. We have been very happy with the aftercare service and any issues have been dealt with quickly and efficiently.”
