Sir Euan Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe’s stated aim is to ensure that the Calthorpe Estate is a superb place in which to live and work, just a mile west of the city centre. Sir Euan has worked closely with the management team of Calthorpe Estates and the board of trustees to develop the Edgbaston estate sympathetically, and in a sustainable way.
The Estate has been overseen by 49 year-old Sir Euan’s family – one of the oldest in Birmingham – since 1717. Throughout that time the family refused to allow factories or warehouses to be built within the Estate, so creating a high quality urban village, and leading to the area’s high property values. It wasn’t until the late 19th century that Edgbaston – then a town in its own right – came under Birmingham administration.
The original family home of the Gough-Calthorpes is now Edgbaston Golf Club
, Calthorpe Holdings, has net assets of well over £6 million.
The Anstruther-Gough-Calthorpe family lives on a 4,000 acre estate in Elvetham in Hampshire. Sir Euan has property interests in Europe and the Gulf and interests in America.
