Thrupp Lane, Thrupp, GL5

A unique opportunity to purchase a recently constructed energy efficient property 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. Golden Ash was built in 2019 with a clear brief to provide a contemporary living space that kept direct contact with the surrounding environment. The current owner has made further improvements to the original design, and the resulting property is wonderfully light and airy, with accommodation neatly arranged over one floor.

You're in touch with the view at the back as soon as you walk though the entrance area into the inner hall, as there is a direct line of sight out through the bi fold doors in the kitchen. A useful utility area and bathroom are on the left of the hall, with a double bedroom beyond this. The principal bedroom is on the right, and this has an en suite shower room. The back of the house is the sunniest, lightest space, and this is reserved for a first class open plan living space. This comprises a kitchen area, dining area and sitting area, so there's plenty of space to cook, eat, entertain and relax. Multi pane bi-fold doors with a clever glazed gable over make the absolute most of the sun and the view, and these doors fold back, connecting the garden and house. The vaulted ceilings throughout the property enhance the sense of space, and prospective buyers will be please to find that the EPC rating is a strong B, with potential for an A with further investment. An brilliant, interesting home, and an absolute must for your viewing list.

The property benefits from parking for several cars and a private sunny rear garden. The gated parking area is at the front of the property, and the current owner has created productive raised vegetable beds here, and fitted a rainwater harvesting system. The garden is at the rear of the house, and so perfectly placed to enjoy the superb view over the Golden Valley. Multi pane bi-fold doors open to connect the living space with the garden. There is a large gravelled terrace here, with a couple of wide steps that lead down to a well planted lower area with a pond. This lovely sunny spot is very private and it is a great place to sit, relax and enjoy the view. 

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
