Developer Weston Homes has finalised the acquisition of the historic Sergeants' Mess in Deepcut, Surrey.
This Edwardian building, rich in military history, is set to be transformed into a £32.5 million development featuring 70 homes. The project will include a blend of converted spaces and new builds, offering both market sale and shared ownership options.
Situated on Bellew Road at the former Princess Royal Barracks, the Sergeants’ Mess sits on a 4.25-acre plot within a 6.23-acre site. The three-story building, designed by architect W.A. Ross and completed in 1938, boasts a brick façade, classical Portland stone entrance portico, dormer roof, and prominent brick chimneys.
Weston Homes plans to convert and develop the site to provide 70 converted and newly built homes, comprising 65 market sale and 5 shared ownership homes. The main Sergeants’ Mess building will be converted into 33 apartments, whilst in the extensive grounds Weston Homes will build a premium collection of new two, three, four and five-bedroom homes, each with private gardens.
Princess Royal Barracks, which comprises 114 hectares, was used for military training since the late 19th century. It is now being transformed into a new neighbourhood, Mindenhurst, providing housing, a primary school, amenities, and extensive outside space. Skanska is leading the masterplan development.
The village of Deepcut is named for the deep excavations dug for the construction of the Basingstoke Canal during the 18th century. There are direct trains from nearby Frimley station to London Waterloo in 1 hour 20 minutes and nearby Farnborough station to London Waterloo in 35 minutes.
