Property Description: Guide Price £700,000 - £775,000. Located in a desirable residential area, this light and bright, four bed detached home has spacious and versatile living accommodation.

There is the potential to extend with planning permission previously granted (now lapsed).
The porch leads into an impressive and spacious reception hall with a WC/cloakroom and under-stairs storage. Through to the rear of the property is the heart of the home: the spacious double aspect kitchen/dining room. The impressive, wooden topped kitchen island with breakfast bar at one end is the centre piece of the room and provides practical work space and storage as well as an ideal space for entertaining. At one end of the kitchen is a range cooker with electric ovens and a six ring gas hob. There is plumbing for a dishwasher and space for a large freestanding fridge/freezer. The large format, ceramic tiles on the floor complete the look for this modern and stylish kitchen/dining room, which has glazed sliding doors that open out onto a paved terrace and garden.
Off the kitchen is a separate study area as well as a utility room that leads into a double aspect reception room. This room could either be used as a family/play room or a separate dining room and has access to the back garden through glass sliding doors. With views of both the front and rear gardens, the spacious sitting room is beautifully light and bright and also has access to the back terrace and garden through another set large of sliding doors. There is an additional reception room with built-in wardrobes through the entrance hall which could be used as a fifth bedroom if required.
On the first floor, there are four good sized double bedrooms, two with en-suites, plus a family bathroom. The principal bedroom overlooks the private rear garden and has a southerly aspect. There are built-in wardrobes and the en-suite to this bedroom has both a bath and a separate shower. The family bathroom also has both a bath and a shower, as well as a bidet.

Outside: Wooden gates open onto the gravelled drive which has a double garage with an electric door and parking for numerous cars. A paved sun terrace runs along the front façade of the house looking out onto the southerly facing lawned garden with mature shrubs. The garden is enclosed by a wall topped with fencing for privacy.
To the rear of this fabulous home there is a spacious paved terrace that connects to the interior of the property via French doors and sliding patio doors, the ideal spot for outdoor entertaining. A good sized lawn then extends from the terrace making for a perfect family garden.
Location: Housman Road sits within a sought after residential area close to Millfield School. Sitting at the end of the Polden Hills, with views of Glastonbury Tor and the Mendip Hills, Street is perfectly situated to explore the surrounding countryside whilst enjoying all of the sites and facilities that the village has to offer. Street is the birthplace of Clarks shoes, whose story began almost 200 years ago, when brothers, Cyrus and James Clark, started making slippers from sheepskin offcuts. Clarks grew into an international company, renowned for quality and innovation. Although the factory has long gone, Street is still home to Clarks HQ, and many of the surrounding buildings and terraces built for the workers, such as Wilfrid Road, themselves attract visitors, for their architectural qualities. From manufacturing to retail, on the site of the old Clarks factory stands one of Somerset’s premier tourist attractions, Clarks Village outlet shopping centre, the first purpose-built factory outlet in the UK.
Along the High Street you will find many independent shops and cafés, as well as a selection of well known brands. As you walk east along the High Street you will find Greenbank Swimming Pool, a Grade II listed pool that was bequeathed by Alice Clark to Street in 1937. Merriman Park, is just a short stroll from western end of the High Street. The park offers something for everyone, with an open grass area, a newly refurbished play area for 0–10 years olds, play equipment for older children and an outdoor table tennis table. It also contains a war memorial, that was designed by William Douglas Caröe. Street is also renowned for its educational facilities. Millfield School has been represented at every Olympic Games since 1956, and at the 2012 Olympics in London Millfield was the most represented British school. Local primary schools within walking distance are Hindhayes infants and Elhurst Junior school as well as Brookside Community Primary. Street also has a number of churches, the oldest being the Anglican Parish Church of The Holy Trinity, a Grade I listed building which dates from the 14th century. Street is surrounded by a rich variety of towns, each with their own distinct character, such the neighbouring town of Glastonbury, renowned for its spirituality, or the historic cathedral city of Wells. Berry's Coaches run a daily "superfast" service to and from London and the nearest mainline train stations are at Castle Cary and Bridgwater. There is also a bus service to Bath and Bristol.
