Exquisite, period house with stunning modern additions
Description
Pencaitland House was one of the mansions on 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 and included Muirfield and Gullane Golf Links. Today Winton Castle and Estate is the family home of Sir Francis Ogilvy and is used for private parties, conferences and weddings.
Old Pencaitland House was originally the south wing of the substantial 17th century mansion house. The two wings were detached and linked to the main house by curving walls. The mansion was destroyed by fire in 1876 and only the wings survived.
The present owners bought the house in 2005 and carried out a full renovation. They stripped the house back to the bare walls and re-built with glass additions to create an exquisite modern day home.
All the small rooms in the core of the original house were incorporated into a large kitchen / living / dining room. New archways were created in the elegant drawing room and a sweeping, steel framed fully glazed garden room was added. A spiral stone stairway leads to three, luxurious bedroom suites on the first and second floors.
To the south of the house, on the opposite side of a circular courtyard, a former Brewhouse and ice house were restored as entertaining spaces. A glazed garden room links both buildings with a glazed circular roof to the ice house used as a dining room. The Brewhouse has a long gallery space and stove with a sitting room at the end. The buildings could form a separate living annexe to the main house.

GARDEN
Old Pencaitland House is set in a private garden extending to about 1.35 acres. The property is divided from the former west wing by a high wooden fence and surrounding trees.
The circular courtyard with its cast iron ‘sugar bowl’ water feature in the centre is surrounded by box hedge and specimen plane trees and is a delightful aspect of the property. The brewhouse envelops the courtyard to the south and the sweeping Garden Room design echoes the formal garden.
Around the house are a series of lawns interspersed with specimen trees including yew, sycamore and laurel. The entrance drive is lined with a variety of mature trees and the original stone gate pillars and orbs are particularly attractive.
Location
Old Pencaitland House has a lovely setting above the Tyne Water in the middle of the village of Pencaitland. It is opposite the church and is backed by the grounds of Winton Castle.
The house is near to the 16th century three-arched bridge which divides Easter Pencaitland and Wester Pencaitland. The ancient cross in Wester Pencaitland indicates that there would probably have been a market there.
Pencaitland Primary School is only a short walk from the property. There is a bus service from Pencaitland to Edinburgh and there are train stations at Longniddry and Wallyford. The nearby town of Haddington has a good range of shops and facilities.
The house benefits from being minutes from the countryside, coastline and golf courses of East Lothian whilst being only 3 miles from the A1, 8 miles from the Edinburgh bypass and 15 miles from the city centre.
