We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
20a Victoria Road is a detached split level house in an elevated location a couple of miles East of Stroud in a popular road in Brimscombe.
This location is appealing, with the Stroudwater Canal located at the bottom of the road - perfect for scenic walks and cycling - and hundreds of acres of National Trust owned countryside just up the hill on Minchinhampton and Rodborough Commons.
This individual property has been built to take advantage of the super view over the valley and has been the subject of improvement during the current owner's tenure, with bright, well presented accommodation arranged over two floors.
A porch, entrance hall, bedroom and bathroom with contemporary fittings are on the ground floor.
A staircase leads up from the hall to the first floor, with a 15’ sitting room with wood burning stove, a 17’ kitchen, 15' garden/dining room and two further bedrooms on this level.
The split level design allows for a superb outlook from the sitting room and best bedroom at the front, and the house is tastefully decorated throughout.
A property that offers something a little different from the norm, and is all the better for it in our opinion. We strongly recommend booking an appointment to view.
The property benefits from parking, an integral garage and a good rear garden. There is a parking pull in at the front of the house, with a further parking space in front of the garage.
The garage is integral, with double doors, and this measures 15'11" x 7'9". Steps lead up the side of the house to a side door into the garden room, with a useful store beyond.
The garden is at the rear, and this stretches up away from the house. There is a level seating area to the side of the garden room, with steps up into the garden.
This is terraced, with three levels, laid to lawn, and edged with established shrubs.
There is a deck at the top of the plot - the perfect place for a table and chair set or outdoor sofa to sit, relax and enjoy the view.
Brimscombe primary school is just down the road on Brimscombe Hill. The closest amenities are just down the hill at Brimscombe Corner and includes a general store and a take away.
The Ship Inn is opposite, serving good food and beer, with The Long Table across the road and Stroud Brewery along the canal path. Stroud town is approximately three miles distant.
The town benefits from a variety of local independent shops, stores and amenities.
The wider area has a wide range of shops and amenities, including supermarkets, a hospital, state and private schools, a leisure and sports centre, award winning weekly farmers market and a main line railway station with inter city services travelling to London (Paddington).
