Thrupp Lane, Thrupp, Stroud, GL5

The Coach House is a substantial Grade II listed Cotswold stone property situated in an elevated location a mile to the east of Stroud centre on sought after Thrupp Lane. This private spot is accessed via a sweeping pillared drive and offers easy access to the shops, amenities and train station of the town with some lovely country walks in The Heavens just up the hill. Built from Cotswold stone, this imposing building was originally the coach house for the neighbouring country house. It was comprehensively renovated in 2003 and It is now an impressive, substantial home in it's own right. The current owner has finessed the property, making many further improvements during their tenure. The resulting property is spacious and light, with character and interest everywhere you look.

The accommodation arranged over two floors. An entrance area opens into a first class kitchen/dining room. This 27' space has a glazed dining area with a super view across the Golden Valley and recently re-fitted kitchen cabinets. A door leads into a 19' dining hall with flagstone floor and grand arched windows, with an 18' sitting room beyond this. There is also a useful study area and shower room beyond the kitchen. An oak staircase leads up from the dining hall to the first floor, with a landing, 15' principal bedroom with en suite shower room, family bathroom and two further bedrooms on this level. Another bedroom is found above the study, and this, along with the shower room and study below, could suit as an informal annexe or guest wing. A unique home, and one that impresses at every level. An appointment to view is highly recommended,
