Agent's Note – Flooding History and Recommended Remedial Works

The property has experienced flooding on several occasions since November 2023 as a result of surface water runoff from the highway, with the most recent occurrence in January 2026.

The flooding affected the ground floor accommodation and garage areas, where the existing floor levels are relatively low. The maximum recorded water depth was approximately 50mm.

A report commissioned in relation to the flooding advises that the suspended timber floor to the front section of the house would benefit from complete replacement, as much of the structure is original and has deteriorated over time. This presents an opportunity to install a new solid floor at a higher level, which could help reduce the risk of future flooding.

The floors to the rear of the property and within the garage are of solid construction and could be overlaid, together with the installation of an appropriate damp proof membrane, to achieve a similar increase in floor level. Any increase in floor heights may require associated structural alterations to door openings and the staircase.

As an alternative, or in addition to the above measures, it has been suggested that the ground level at the driveway entrance could be raised and a low-level wall introduced along the boundaries to help prevent surface water from the highway entering the property.

Prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves as to the suitability, costs and implementation of any remedial works and are advised to make their own enquiries prior to exchange of contracts.
