Inside £1.4m Scotland’s ‘most eye-catching home’ with a sauna & private gym

A STUNNING five-bedroom house is now for sale for offers over £1.37 million – and it’s been described as the country’s “most eye-catching home” by a Scotland’s Home of the Year judge.

Tragerhouse, situated within the Whitecraigs suburb in Glasgow’s southside, caught the eye of architect Danny Campbell, the new judge on the hit BBC Scotland property show.

The luxurious four-storey building complete with Caithness stone exterior and Siberian larch cladding boasts five bedrooms, as well as a gym, sauna and plant room.

Mark Jamieson, partner at leading estate agency Corum, said: “An extraordinary feat of engineering and design.

“Never has a house delivered such a level of contemporary architecture, feeling of seclusion and privacy for such an urban setting. Bold, dynamic and must surely be a pleasure to live in.

“The demand for homes over £1m across Greater Glasgow has grown exponentially over the last few years, as such we have already had plenty of interest. It is a remarkable property to be involved with.”

The spacious entrance sets the scene for the property.

The principal suite is self-contained with an entrance area, sitting area, mezzanine bedroom and en-suite bathroom. A separate raised TV room is private and secluded.

The lower ground accommodation delivers entertaining space which connects to the private terrace and gardens, separate workstation area in addition to WC and laundry room.

Each of the five bedrooms has a presence of its own, surrounded by expansive gardens and open to the ground through a sliding wall of glazing that offers direct access in and out.

The six-person sauna sits next to a gym, adding an extra element of luxury for the residents.

The ground floor also features a comms room  and plant room which houses a central heating system and media system.

Architect Danny Campbell, founder of HOKO and judge on BBC’s Scotland’s Home of The Year, believes the home is one of the most ‘eye-catching’ in the country.

He said: “I’ve driven past Tragerhaus many times, and I’ve always been intrigued by the building.

“From the road, you get a glimpse of the hidden gutters, larger skylights and vernacular form.

“There’s no windows or visible doors from the street –  the minimal appearance from the road belies what is surely one of Glasgow’s finest contemporary homes.

“It’s one of the most eye-catching I’ve ever seen.

“I often advise my own clients of the importance of creating a hierarchy between social and private spaces. Well, this does just that, and then some. 

“I spend my life going in and out of homes, figuring out how they can be better utilised or how some architectural flare can add some magic – this is something special, well designed and playful with the site.”
