Description
We are pleased to offer to auction Thrupp House. Thrupp House is a Gothic Revival mansion house dating back to the late 19th Century. The original property was once part of the larger Lipyatt Estates, the lands at Thrupp were originally in the ownership of the Templars.
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 storerooms, with potential for further development.
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.
Please note we have not inspected this property.
