Would you like to live in a historic barn but with modern conveniences? If so Bourne Homes would be delighted to show you their latest collection of 17th, 18th and 19th century barns in the delightful village of Twyford, just outside Winchester.

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.

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 with Help to Buy.
