PICTURES: Wing of former Pencaitland House mansion with four-poster bed and bath in the master bedroom for-sale

The three-bedroomed Old Pencaitland House sits just off the main road passing through the village, the A6093, and can be found nestled amongst the trees opposite Pencaitland Parish Church among more than one acre of private garden.

The property is a restored south wing of the former 17th century mansion Pencaitland House, one of those on the Winton Estate which was owned by the Seton family from the 1100s until 1715. Their estates were forfeited after they supported the Jacobite uprising.

The Hamilton Nisbets then bought the estate in 1779, their vast estates covered most of East Lothian’s best farmland including Muirfield and Gullane Golf Club.

Winton Castle and Winton Estate today is the family home of Sir Francis Ogilvy.

The two wings of Pencaitland House were detached and linked to the main house by curving walls. The mansion was destroyed by a fire in 1876, the wings were the only thing to survive.

The property’s present owners bought it in 2005 and carried out a full renovation, which included stripping the house back to its bare walls and re-building it with glass additions to give the historic property a modern feel.

The original entrance gates and mature tree lined driveway welcome people to the property, which is described by estate agents Savills as an “exquisite, period house with stunning modern additions”.

One of the stand-out and unique features is the north-facing, fully glass lined steel framed garden room with the Italian ceramic tiled floor providing plenty of seating space.

Sliding glass doors, that expose the stone inner wall, open up the space to views of the 1.35 acres of private garden.

This leads onto the kitchen/living room is made up of all the small rooms in the core of the original house.

A Georgian open fireplace, marble topped hand painted floor units, Belfast sinks, two dishwashers, four oven gas fired AGA’s, display cabinets with internal lighting and an oak floor made from salvaged American railway sleepers complete the area.

With underfloor heating, which runs throughout the entire ground floor, and enough space for a dining table and sofa, there is plenty of room to have the whole family round when you are allowed to.

Also found in this section of the property is one of the many drawing rooms with new arched windows on two sides, an oak floor and a carved coal effect gas fireplace with a copper inset.

A courtyard in the centre of the property with a cast iron water feature separates the two sections of the ground floor.

To the south of the house, a circular stone-walled ice house with a glass roof, glass sliding doors and slate floor has been restored and transformed into a dining room.

A former brew house, complete with a sitting room and exposed beam ceiling, was also restored as an entertaining space.

It has a long gallery space and stove and could form a separate living annexe to the main house.

A second glazed garden room complete with circular roof, sliding doors and a slate floor links the two rooms together.

A porch, timber clad workshop, utility room, toilet and hall complete the downstairs.

A spiral stone staircase found behind a door in the north-facing garden room leads to the first and second floors.

The master bedroom comes with its own four-poster bed, carved fireplace and freestanding bathtub in the middle of the room.

As with every bedroom in this house the wall is hand printed and there is an ensuite bathroom, complete with three sinks with a marble top, toilet and full height mirrored wardrobes.

A short trip across the hall and you can find the second bedroom, which is complete with its own carved fireplace, full height mirrored wardrobes and ensuite bathroom with toilet, two sinks with a marble top, shower and heated towel rail.

Upstairs on the second floor is the third bedroom, also with its own ensuite shower room and exposed wooden beam ceiling.

However this attic bedroom, with an Italian tiled floor, has a built in wardrobe and another walk-in cupboard in the bathroom.

As well as the stunning property, potential owners will also be able to enjoy the extensive private garden, with plenty of greenery to keep those with green fingers busy.

The property, which is a b-listed building and in a conservation area, is divided from the former west wing by a high wooden fence and surrounding trees.

The garden furniture and some light fittings are not included, however an inventory and valuation can be made should a buyer wish to purchase all or some of the contents.
