Street: Why Buyers Love Somerset’s Shopping & Lifestyle Hub
Street is a village that balances convenience with charm. Best known for Clarks Village, the UK’s first outlet shopping centre, it offers a surprising amount of culture, community and countryside appeal. For those selling, that makes Street a desirable market where homes consistently attract buyers from across Somerset and beyond.
Retail & Leisure at the Heart of the Village
Clarks Village is a name recognised well beyond Somerset. With over 90 high-street and designer stores, plus cafés and restaurants, it provides residents with retail choice rarely found outside larger cities. Buyers are reassured they won’t have to travel far for shopping and leisure. Add in Strode Theatre – offering theatre, film and live performances – and you have a cultural hub that sets Street apart.
Outdoor Living & Recreation
For many, lifestyle is just as important as amenities. Street has this covered too, with Greenbank Heated Pool, nearby walking and cycling routes, and the natural beauty of the Mendip Hills close by. From Street Heath nature reserve to Glastonbury Tor just down the road, buyers are drawn to the balance of village living with countryside on the doorstep.
Family-Friendly Facilities
Families often top the buyer list, and Street is well equipped to meet their needs. Good schools, playgrounds, sports clubs and community centres all add to the appeal. Buyers relocating from further afield are reassured by the education and recreational opportunities for children.
Location & Connectivity
Street enjoys a central Somerset location, making it convenient for travel to Glastonbury, Wells, and Yeovil. Bristol and Bath are within commuting distance, and strong road connections make it an accessible choice for buyers who want Somerset living with reach to larger centres.
