Show home created for barn conversions

March 10, 2016 Property News 0

If the idea of living in a barn conversion appeals then a visit to the new show home at Manor Barns in Twyford is a must. This fascinating collection of 17th, 18th and 19th century barns in this delightful village just outside Winchester, offers an excellent range of homes for most budgets.

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; this has been transformed into a unique detached home. 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 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.

Help to Buy is available on this site, subject to terms and conditions, and the selling agent, Hamptons International, will be able to provide further details of this scheme.  The show home, which is a two bedroom mews style cottage, is available at £500,000.

Prices for the range of homes at Manor Barns start from just £395,000, which is a superb entry level for a quality home in this location. Larger three bedroom homes are from £915,000 and £950,000 for a four bedroom family home, rising to £1,650,000 for the incredible Hay Barn, complete with a versatile annexe, set at right angles to the spacious main house which could alternatively be a marvellous party barn, gym or home office.

Further details are available from Hamptons International in Winchester and an appointment to view is essential to appreciate the location, style and finish of these character homes. Call Hamptons on 01962 842030.…

Parkland feel to perfect city home

Parkland feel to perfect city home

Parkland feel to perfect city home

There’s a parkland feel to a home new on the market in Winchester, thanks to the calming influence of having Orams Arbour over the rear garden wall.

Yet the property is literally just a short stroll from Winchester station, so reaching Waterloo takes fewer strides than getting to the Theatre Royal or many of the city’s restaurants (although they are not very far away).

The property, in Alison Way, comes complete with allocated and guest parking although city dwellers wanting to eschew car ownership will find the property perfectly placed to enable this.

Created as part of the conversion project for the former St Paul’s Hospital, the two storey mid-terrace house has generous room sizes thanks to its origins as part of an older building dating back to 1900. It was converted to its present layout in 2000 so its period feel is accompanied by all the modern accoutrements of life.

At the front, the kitchen / breakfast room is impressively equipped while at the rear is a living room with a deep period sash window and matching French door into the rear garden.

At mezzanine level on the stairs there’s a cloakroom while the first floor offers two bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes and the master with an en-suite bathroom that mirrors the layout of the family bathroom accessed from the landing.

Attractive courtyard gardens to the front and rear make the property easy to manage, and with the communal grounds of Orams Arbour on the doorstep there is a real feeling of space. There is ready access to highly-rated schools plus excellent transport links.

Guide price is £625,000 (EPC Band D). For more information, contact Carter Jonas on 01962 842742 or email winchester@carterjonas.co.uk
