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
38 Lark Rise is a well presented detached house in the corner of this popular cul de sac, tucked away from passing traffic at Chalford.
This location is very much part of the inclusive local community, with good schools, pubs and shops within easy reach and country walks just up the road.
The property was built approximately 25 years ago by Robert Hitches Homes using traditional methods from reconstituted stone under a pitched roof.
It has been a happy home for the current owners for 14 years, and they have improved the property during this time.
The resulting spaces are filled with light, with good family accommodation arranged over two floors.
An entrance hall, cloakroom/W.c, study, 19’ kitchen/dining room with glazed double doors that open on to the rear garden and an impressive 19’ sitting room are on the ground floor.
The latter is the original sitting room space combined with the former integrated garage, creating a much larger reception room than is typical with this style of house.
Upstairs you'll find a landing, three double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a bathroom. The house is tastefully decorated and welcoming - an appointment to view is very much advised.
The property benefits from a level rear garden and parking at the front. A path leads to the front door and a gated access at the side.
The garden is at the rear, with glazed double doors that open on to this area from the kitchen.
There is a paved area directly behind the house with attractive paviours and a pergola to one side, with a level lawn beyond this.
A path leads through the lawn to a circular paved sitting spot at the back of the garden, which is enclosed with walls and fencing, and edged with planted borders.
Chalford, along with neighbouring Bussage, Brownshill and Eastcombe, enjoys a bustling community, with established primary and secondary schools, two Cotswold pubs, a gp surgery, pharmacy, a post office and a shop in the area.
Stroud town benefits from an award winning weekly farmers market as well as a variety of local independent shops and stores, pubs serving locally supplied beers and ciders and plenty of cafes, bars and restaurants to eat and socialise at.
The recently opened “Five Valleys” shopping centre is of particular note and is certainly worth a visit for a range of market stalls, food stalls and stores.
The wider area has a range of shops and amenities, including supermarkets, a hospital, state and private schools, a leisure and sports centre and a main line railway station with inter city services travelling to London (Paddington).
Cirencester (10 miles), Cheltenham (15 miles) and Swindon (25 miles) are all within comfortable driving distance. Property Information The property is freehold.
