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
A substantial attached family house in a superb rural position at Brimscombe.
This location, in the midst of the countryside, still allows for straight forward access to both Stroud and Nailsworth with superb walks on the door step and hundreds of acres of National Trust land found just up the hill at Minchinhampton and Rodborough Commons.
The property is built using traditional methods from reconstituted stone and has clearly been the subject of comprehensive improvement in recent years, with well presented accommodation arranged over three floors.
An entrance hall with Parquet flooring, 14’ sitting room with wood burning stove, 27’ kitchen/family room with contemporary units, utility room and cloakroom/WC are on the ground floor.
A staircase leads up from the hall to a large landing, with a principal bedroom with en suite shower room, first class bathroom and two further bedrooms on this floor.
There are then a further two double bedrooms at the top of the house, with a large landing /study space in between.
The outlook at the front of the house is of particular merit, with every window here enjoying the view into the valley.
The property benefits from a gated drive and a large garden, with a total plot size of 0.25 acres. Grand old wrought iron gates are set at the bottom of the drive, which then leads up to the house.
There is space to park several vehicles and still turn.
The garden is mostly found at the front of the property, with a generous level lawn at the front that stretches away from the house, with the glorious greenery of the valley as a stunning back drop.
This is edged with fencing and hedging, with a paved seating spot and a summer house at the far end.
There is a chicken run behind this, with a further area of garden that slopes down to a little stream, with mature shrubs and trees including a wonderful mature Gunnera.
There is another paved seating area at the front of the house (the perfect spot to sit and look out over the garden and view), with a couple of steps up to the kitchen door.
There is a useful area at the side and rear of the property, with two good sheds sited here. The property is in a lovely rural position at Swells Hill, Brimscombe.
The closest amenities are just down the hill at Brimscombe Corner. This includes a general store and a take away.
The Ship Inn is opposite, serving good food and beer, with the Long Table and Stroud Brewery further along the canal tow path.
Brimscombe primary school is just down the road on Brimscombe Hill and Stroud town is approximately three miles distant.
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).
