Thriplow House

Introduction

Features include lawns, gate piers and a drive.

The gardens to the south retain many of the original Victorian features including extensive lawns with specimen trees-copper beech and spreading golden yews. Although the house is now subdivided into flats, the drive still winds through yew trees; the solid brick entrance gate piers remain. There is a Victorian lodge with a separate garden.
History

Situated within four hectares of mature wood and parkland on the southern edge of the village, Thriplow House was built between 1858 and 1863 for the Ellis family who were local landowners.
