Structural Movement: Prior to letting in 2018, the owners commissioned a report in respect of structural movement in the northeast corner of the house which had been apparent for the preceding 20+ years. The report concluded that movement was probably attributable to nearby trees (since removed) and/or issues with drains requiring further investigation. Following the report, work was carried out 2018-19 to re-lay the main house drain (under the driveway) which had fractured and was leaking into the ground towards the building. Since these repairs movement has been minimal however some precautionary underpinning as part of a general refurbishment may be prudent. The structural report is available for inspection on request.
