The Millstream estate consists of 180 properties and started life in early 1995 with the earliest recorded transaction on 14/02/1995 (5 Fawn Close). The estate was built by Bryant Homes on land once owned by John Snow & Co who were about to hand over the land to Tor Rugby Club for their new home when they went into receivership and after a legal battle Tor Rugby Club found a new home at Lowerside Lane where they still reside today.

The appeal of the Millstream estate is that they are all modern houses, all semi-detached or detached, with ample parking and easy access to the A39. Add to this the fact that the estate is adjacent to the Tor Leisure sports fields and just a short walk from the centre of Glastonbury makes Millstream a popular location.

The most expensive house purchase on the Millstream estate was 118 Boundary Way which sold on 26/02/2016 for £325,000. The least expensive recorded transactions on the Millstream estate were for 15 Boundary Way which sold on 15/02/1995 and 5 Fawn Close which sold on 14/02/1995 each for £43,950.

The most recent house purchase on the Millstream estate was for 110 Boundary Way which sold on 14/11/2016 for £305,000
