The Sergeants Mess

PRESTIGIOUS HOMES | HISTORIC LOCATION An exceptional transformation of one of Colchester's most impressive heritage properties into a remarkable collection of just eight truly luxurious residences.

The Sergeant's Mess is just a short walk from Colchester's vibrant town centre yet tucked away in a private turning, shielded by beautiful mature trees and overlooking one of the most important Roman finds in Britain's history.

Originally constructed in 1875 as officers' quarters, extended in 1904, and possibly the grandest structure within the sizable Victorian Le Cateau Barracks complex, the Grade II listed building was recognised for its high architectural merit, with much of its elaborate decoration, fixtures and fittings surviving intact to the present day.

Without doubt, this is a highly-anticipated opportunity to acquire a sensational luxury home – and a genuine slice of history – in a prime location within Britain's first Roman city, welcome to The Sergeant's Mess.

Situated within a site of significant historical interest, the Sergeant's Mess collection is a unique transformation of one of Colchester's most prestigious heritage properties into just eight truly exceptional luxury homes of two and three bedrooms.

The true character of this building has been lovingly brought back to life, with modern additions faithful to the original Victorian architecture and refined contemporary interiors seamlessly integrated into the design. Intended from the outset as superior accommodation, and set in a commanding location, these properties are naturally impressive from first sight through to the finest details.

ARCHITECTURE OF EMPIRE The Sergeant's Mess stands out as the pre-eminent building in the Le Cateau neighbourhood. A combination of classical design with military functionality and Victorian decorative style, its refined facade is punctuated by four exquisite entrance ways, faithfully refurbished to an exceptional standard and crowned by classically-styled stone archways. This impressive structure has been cleverly segmented into the eight exclusive residencies you see today, marrying the very best of both old and new in its stairways, windows and architectural details.

The Sergeant's Mess beautifully captures the character and subtleties of Victorian imperial design, and effortlessly incorporates contemporary additions so both are able to shine.

TAKE YOUR PLACE AMONGST CENTURIES OF HISTORY Colchester's long and proud military history dates from the Roman era, when the 20th Legion Valeria Victrix founded the first permanent garrison close to this site following Emperor Claudius's conquest of Britain in 43AD. As an important Roman centre, Colchester saw significant developments at the time, including its formidable walls and a monumental chariot circus, with the remains of the starting gates visible in the semicircular lawn outside The Sergeant's Mess.

Colchester continued as an important garrison through the centuries. Following the Crimean War an extensive brick-built barracks complex was constructed to house several thousand men, with further major additional facilities established around Abbey Field in the years following.

Originally designated as the officers' quarters, the structure was completed in 1875 at the head of the barracks parade ground, and extended at either end in 1904.

The building saw active use throughout both World Wars and was a functioning element of the garrison for over 120 years.

Built to last, these were prestigious quarters for their time and continue to be so today, with the building taking pride of place at the head of a tree-lined approach to the old barracks site. One of the most anticipated conversion projects in Colchester's recent history, the building's signature features have been painstakingly restored to their full glory, with high-quality additions and contemporary interiors studiously curated to carefully balance ancient and modern.

“At The Sergeant's Mess, residents will find themselves sharing space with centuries of military history whilst enjoying all the contemporary comforts that a bespoke modern home can provide, with all the attractions of town just a short walk away among Colchester's broad tapestry of ancient remains "

A REMARKABLE OUTLOOK The Sergeant's Mess is a luxurious collection of residences with which have their foundations firmly cemented in history. Overlooking the captivating starting gates of Britain's only known roman chariot racing track – a 450-metre open-air circus where brave Roman Charioteers once raced – Sergeant's Mess Front View.

carefully balances the past and the present, and whilst designed for modern 21st century lifestyles it, also thoughtfully complements the area's unique legacy.

CAREFULLY HONOURING THE HERITAGE OF A PROUD ERA As a Grade 2 listed building, the approach to the restoration and conversion of The Sergeants Mess required absolute diligence down to the finest details, with careful consideration given to the refurbishment and preservation of existing features at every opportunity, and all replacement items sourced to be as faithful and sympathetic to the originals as possible. Every aspect of the property breathes authenticity from the moment you walk in.

Before work began, designers studiously examined the existing doorways, coving, skirting and architrave to ensure new additions were a perfect match for the originals. Bespoke sash windows with elegant recessed shutters were commissioned on a like-for-like basis and wood panelling was reinstated in many sleeping quarters. Meanwhile, the sourcing of every single fixture and fitting was carefully researched, so that door knobs, bannisters, stair brackets, shelf supports, window latches and more are all as close to the original items as possible.

To the exterior, new plantings, classically styled balustrades and enhancements to the original entrances help the collection to be secure by design, with dedicated parking spaces and a spacious gated communal turfed lawn area provided to the front of the property.

The result is an outstanding transformation of a former military block into a truly remarkable residential collection that bears the weight of history on its shoulders with a surprising lightness, bringing a new shine and lease of life to its surroundings.
