Agents notes

The property has a flying freehold with the neighbouring cottage. Following extensive rainfall in October 2019, when some areas experienced 69mm of rain, the road drains could not cope and surface rain water from the road entered the property at the front. All internal works were completed under insurance along with additional measures to protect the property. Externally, the Highways Department cleared all the pipework on the road of tree roots, which they believed contributed to the overflow. Additional water tanks under the road have also been installed to feed into, should another event happen. No flooding has occurred since these measures have been put in place.
