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
Chalkers Cottage is a real Tardis! Situated along a quiet lane in the sought-after village of Woolston which is situated just 4 miles from Castle Cary and 6 miles from Bruton.
Both towns have train stations and thriving town centres with a variety of shops and eateries as well as mainline stations to London.
Communications by road are excellent with good access to the A303/M3 and M5. Mainline railway stations at Castle Cary and Templecombe provide direct trains to Paddington and Waterloo.
There are also a wealth of local attractions and amenities nearby including Stourhead (National Trust) and The Newt in Somerset, a sports centre and swimming pool in Wincanton and large town facilities in Yeovil.
The Dorset coastline has some of the country's finest beaches and dramatic scenery and there is an excellent choice of state and private schools in the surrounding area, including North Cadbury C of E Primary School within 2 miles.
The property has a spacious entrance porch which leads into the hallway where the stairs rise to the first floor.
There is a good-sized sitting room overlooking the rear garden with a stylish fireplace and wood burner creating a warm and welcoming focal point to the room.
There is a snug which also makes an ideal study. A downstairs shower room adds further flexibility to the accommodation.
The kitchen is a truly lovely family room which is very much the heart of the home with windows to the front and rear – meaning it is light and bright.
The centre of the kitchen has room for a very large table – perfect for family gatherings and entertaining guests.
Beyond the kitchen there is a, pantry and utility / boot room – perfect for muddy boots and muddy paws! This has a separate access to the garden.
Upstairs there are four very generous double bedrooms – all off which are light and bright with views over the garden or the countryside beyond. On the first floor there is a family bathroom too.
Together with the downstairs shower room, four large double bedrooms and an upstairs bathroom, this is a wonderful, versatile family home. Outside the gardens are mature and private.
Ample lawn, patio and terrace with a separate vegetable garden with raised beds and a green house. Parking can be found to the side of the house and to the rear – where the double garage is situated.
A wonderful addition is the garden cabin which is currently set up as a gym – but could be used for a variety of things.
All in all, this is a wonderful family home – the current owners have lived there for over twenty years – bringing up their family and now feel ready to pass to the next custodian.
