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
Accessed via its own entrance on Fountain Street, this characterful apartment occupies part of a handsome Victorian building dating back to the early 1900s.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors and features spacious rooms, high ceilings, and wonderful potential for someone to update and create a stylish home in a superb central location.
From the front door, stairs lead up to a generous kitchen/dining room, perfect for entertaining.
To the front of the property is a bright and welcoming sitting room featuring a large bay window, an ideal spot to curl up with a book or simply watch the world go by.
Stairs from the kitchen take you to the second floor, where you’ll find a good sized principal bedroom mirroring the sitting room below, complete with a front facing window and plenty of natural light.
A second bedroom overlooks the town, and a bathroom sits conveniently between the two.
Although now requiring some updating, 12a Fountain Street offers an exciting opportunity to put your own stamp on a property full of charm and character, right in the vibrant centre of Nailsworth.
Nailsworth is home to many independent businesses, selling everything from artisan bread, meat and fish to stationery, fashion and handmade jewellery.
Nestling at the bottom of steep wooded hills, Nailsworth is now an attractive and vibrant shopping destination, with a large selection of interesting speciality shops and cafes, including the famous Williams Food Hall and Hobbs House Bakery.
It is a quirky and friendly town, with a good selection of restaurants, as well as three supermarkets, a regular farmers’ market and a ‘green’ football club.
Nailsworth is well positioned for both town and country. Climb the steep ‘W’ hill out of town and you find yourself on acres of stunning National Trust common land, home to a prestigious golf course.
The town is also on the doorstep of beautiful Woodchester Park, with miles of woodland walks and secluded lakes.
Yet just four miles away is Stroud, with more comprehensive shopping, educational and leisure facilities, connected by bus services.
Junctions of the M4 and M5 motorways are within easy reach and railway stations at Stroud (4 miles) and Kemble (10 miles) provide main line services to Gloucester, Swindon and London Paddington.
Agents note The electricity meters for the shop below are positioned in the entrance lobby of 12A Fountain Street.
