Description
Set in an elevated position and within over 2 acres of garden, including an original walled garden an old tennis lawn, trees, beech hedging, outbuildings and plenty of parking.
Offering over 11,100 sq.ft, in the early 20th Century the then owner split the manor house into 11 apartments, today Thrupp House has all apartments tenanted.
Further small buildings to the rear of the property are used as store rooms, with potential for further development.
Entering the building into a grand lobby with Victorian floor tiles, wood panelling to walls and ceiling and a grand staircase which gives access to all floors. On the ground floor are 4 apartments, a further set of stairs at the back of the building and access to a large cellar. The first floor which splits to a half floor hosts four apartments and the second floor again with a split level, has a further 3 apartments with a glass atrium flooding the stairs with light. All apartments are of varying condition, some boasting beautiful period features including marble fireplaces, ceiling roses, cornicing, floor to ceiling bay windows and some with wood burners. Gas central heating serves a few apartments and the rest are electric. A further small building is at the back of the main house which holds large storage rooms, further storage and a log shed.
Externally Thrupp House is in good structural order, with stone mullion windows which could benefit from secondary glazing, the house was reroofed in the late eighties or thereabouts however, some felted areas do need attention.
Parking area to the front, with lawned gardens to the front and side, the large walled garden is at the back of the house, the grounds benefit from 360-degree views of the surrounding countryside encompassing Stroud, Rodborough, the common and Bowbridge. There have been discussions that a new build scheme could be applied for in the grounds, as historically there were previous buildings and the land falls within the settlement boundary – no planning has been explored.
Thrupp House - The Family & Its History
Thrupp house was acquired by the present family in an auction in the mid-1900s. The estate was originally in the hands of the Clutterbucks, notably Elizabeth, who married Mr Chambers, and the present house was a wedding present to her, from him. At the beginning of WWII the house was requisitioned by the MOD for the RAF and the airmen were stationed there until it went to auction after the war ended. Our client's late husband's grandfather then purchased the property and it was turned into three large apartments. The family lived there until the late 60s or so. Wally Hammond a family friend and renowned cricketer who played both for Gloucestershire and who was also the Captain of the England cricket team for some years had an apartment there along with another small family. The family hosted tennis parties on the tennis lawn, kept ponies there as well as chickens to the side of the walled garden and the children learned to ride in the then adjoining orchards. The family left the property in the mid twentieth century when they then converted the house into the existing apartments and retained them until now.
