Why catchment sets the price in Street
Concentrated demand is what a price premium actually is.
The local benchmark is £295,000 and a detached home averages £330,000.
No school in the immediate area currently holds an Outstanding rating. That removes the sharpest premium and widens your search across Somerset.

What the admissions data actually guarantees
A house advertised as in catchment may not be next year. The local council publishes last year's furthest distance offered for each school. Ask for that figure in writing before you offer.
Ratings age too. An Outstanding judgement can be several years old, and inspections since September 2024 report differently. Read the current report rather than the agent's summary of it.

| First-time buyers | ★★★★☆ | One of the more affordable Somerset towns, with terraces and Clarks-era homes giving a genuine way onto the ladder. |
