Thrupp Lane, Stroud

Description

We're delighted to offer this characterful period home set away from passing traffic in ever popular Thrupp Lane, with a superb view out over the Golden Valley at the rear. This location enjoys a thriving local community, and isn't far from the shops and amenities of Stroud, yet still has country and canal-side walks within easy reach. The original part of the property is hundreds of years old, built using traditional methods from Cotswold stone. The previous owner saw the potential of the site, and set about sympathetically extending the property to make the most of the location and aspect. The resulting property really does offer the best of both worlds - original character charm, combined with a super 21' kitchen/dining room that is perfect for the way we live today, with accommodation arranged over three floors. 

You enter via the entrance hall/utility room. This leads into the kitchen/dining room - a first rate living space with vaulted ceiling and plenty of space to cook, eat,  entertain and relax. A bathroom and a sitting room with cut stone fireplace and panelled window seat are also on the ground floor. A staircase leads up from this room to the first floor landing, with a bedroom on this level. There is another bedroom at the top of the house, on the second floor. The house has a lovely feel to it, and the windows at the front take in the lovely outlook over the Golden Valley.

Outside

The character and charm of the interior is echoed externally, where the current owners have created a wonderful garden. This is on the sunny side of the property and enjoys a super outlook over the Golden Valley to fields and countryside. There is a sitting area immediately by the house with a veranda over. The garden is beyond this - a colourful, established space carefully stocked with a variety of plants and shrubs. There is a pond in the centre of the plot, with a path that leads to the bottom of the garden, with a good shed and a useful outbuilding/studio sited here. The garden has clearly been a real labour of love, and there are several more seating areas dotted around from which to enjoy the sunny aspect and the view. 

Location

Thrupp is a popular area just over a mile East of Stroud on the sunny side of the Golden Valley. The Long Table, Stroud Brewery, The Ship Inn and Studio 18 are close by, and are all superb community spaces, with well regarded Thrupp primary school just up the road. Stroud’s shops and amenities are within easy reach, with canal side walks at the bottom of the hill and some wonderful countrywide just up the lane at The Heavens. As such, the property enjoys the advantages of being equidistant between open countryside and the lively town of Stroud, which offers a wide range of shops, supermarkets, schools and colleges and leisure facilities. Stroud Railway Station provides a main-line service to Gloucester and London. Junctions of the M4 and M5 Motorway are also within easy driving distance.
