THE SERGEANTS MESSROBERTSON DRIVE, WINSTON BARRACKSLANARK
The Sergeants Mess is a breath-taking luxury detached home,
which was formerly a regimental building within the Winston
Barracks, Lanark. This substantial property was originally
constructed in the late 1930s as part of the barracks which was
home to the Cameronians Regiment between 1941 and 1968.
Externally the property is bold and striking with “Old English”
architectural features such as sweeping Rosemary tiled roof, tall
imposing chimney stacks and bright red, brick facings. Set within
approximately 0.75 acres of ground, the property boasts extensive
driveway and garden space, which wrap around the villa and
are enclosed within attractive combinations of wall, fence and
gates. Within the grounds is a wonderful detached double garage
complete with it’s own kitchen area and staircase leading to the
converted attic space which forms a fully functional office. The
internal conversion of the property has created a highly spacious
five bedroom executive home with impressive open plan public
areas, individual bedroom suites and a selection of inspirational
original features. The stunning specification and charm of
The Sergeant’s Mess instantly capture one’s imagination and
bring to mind the property’s rich history as a regimental home.
Having personally visited the property in it’s previous form
as an abandoned and derelict building, I have to say that the
transformation is nothing short of miraculous. On my first visit, I
found The Sergeant’s Mess as an empty, un-lit structure complete
with a family of resident pigeons, nesting high in the roof space.
At that time, I struggled to see the full potential and was perhaps
put-off by the lack of heat, windows or proper floor coverings.
Nonetheless and testament to their abilities, the present owners
have transformed the property into their home as you see it today.
Their vision and great efforts to restore and improve this historical
villa have culminated in what has to be one of South Lanarkshire’s
most impressive detached villas.
Breath-taking formal lounge with fabulous parquet flooring, open fireplace and multiple windows that provide varying aspects.

French doors and with bespoke transom light can be thrown open to form a stunning semi-open plan living space, perfect for large family gatherings, birthday parties and Christmas.
Great care was taken to expose and restore original timber up-rights and lintels surrounding fireplace recesses, which add to the fabulous character of the Sergeant’s Mess.
As noted, the internal specification is quite astonishing. As such the provided photographs and HD video footage only elude to a degree
of the property’s true quality and character. The rest will only be appreciated through internal viewing. Accommodation on both levels is
of exceptional proportions and is complimented by attractive decor, beautiful parquet flooring or fitted carpets, charming open fireplace
and two lovely wood-burning stoves. The kitchen is of an attractive cream shaker style with butcher block work-surfaces and granite
surrounding the belfast sink. It also benefits from a full array of integrated appliances with range-cooker set beneath a fully formed
chimney-style hood with oak trim. Bathrooms are of a contemporary style and have been furbished with stylish tiling from Porcelanosa
and sanitary wares from ‘Roca’. The accommodation is completed by a recently erected glass house with prism sky-light, which is adjoined
to the rear of the property to form a wonderful additional public space which would be fabulous for intimate family parties, being all too
handy for the integral wine cellar.
