In a recent article (here) I looked at the top 20 most expensive streets in Street and Glastonbury but which streets are the least expensive? First-time buyers will be interested to know where they have the best chance to get their foot on the housing ladder and investors with just a small pot of money will want to know where they can buy a rental property to suit their budget. Using the same methodology as that used for the ‘most expensive’ article I.e. At least 10 properties sold in the thoroughfare in the last 10 years I now bring you the top 20 least expensive streets in Street and Glastonbury. How many of these can you guess?
20 – Woods Road (Street)
Average price paid – £145,778. There are 48 dwellings in Woods Road, 6 of which were built in 1950. The most expensive recorded transaction in Woods Road to date is 19, which sold for £185,000 on 22/07/2016. Woods Road almost certainly gets it’s name from the ancient woodland of Hound Wood which was once a prominent feature in that area. In 1656 Hound Wood covered 50 acres and had 1,200 oaks but was completely cleared in 1841.
19 – Blagrove Close (Street)
Average price paid – £142,778. The name Blagrove has a long association with Street and the wooded landscape that was once part of Street. Blagrove Close comprises 45 homes. 8 of these properties were built in 1980. The property sales that have the highest recorded prices in Blagrove Close to date are 23, which sold on 10/08/2016 and 14, which sold on 27/01/2017 both for £167,500.
18 – Glaston Road (Street)
Average price paid – £141,416. Glaston Road consists of 40 dwellings as well as the Baptist Church of which 17 are flats. The property sale that has the highest recorded price in Glaston Road to date is 4, which sold on 30/07/2007 for £300,000. The Street (Mead) Gate toll house replaced the toll house at Northover bridge in 1783.
17 – Strode Road (Street)
Average price paid – £139,904. Strode Road is home to 183 dwellings and Tor View Court retirement living.
