Property Description

The Sergeants Mess is a magnificent family home which occupies an accessible location between Edinburgh and Glasgow. The architecture is charming, if unusually for the area, being constructed of red brick, with a tiled roof. The property was built in the 1930’s as the Sergeant’s Mess to the Winston Barracks. It has since been painstakingly converted into a magnificent family home, which incorporates original period elegance (with parquet flooring throughout much of the ground floor) and combines it with a contemporary layout and exceptional finish, making it ideal for modern family life.

The house has extensive accommodation arranged over ground and first floors. It is entered through a vestibule that opens onto the hall. This has an office off and a fireplace with a wood burning stove which serves both the hall and the open plan kitchen/sitting room. This is an exceptional room and the heart of the ground floor living space. It has double doors leading into the drawing room room with a fantastic fanlight. The kitchen is superb and has a range of fitted units, an island unit, a large range cooker and space for American style fridge freezer.

The house has some exceptional rooms for entertaining on a grand scale. The drawing room is beautifully proportioned, has an inset open fireplace and French doors which lead to the garden. There is a formal dining room adjacent. The substantial Orangery gives access to the garden through double doors and is also ideal for entertaining.

There are five bedrooms; a bedroom suite on the ground floor and four further bedrooms on the first. The ground floor suite has its own sitting room with a wood burning stove, an en suite bathroom and a walk-in dressing room. The four first floor bedrooms are accessed off a substantial landing and have their own en suite facilities, the bathrooms all having underfloor heating.
