Agent's Note - The vendor has informed us of the following: There was some flooding on 2 Jan 2024. After a period of much higher rainfall than usual the drainage system couldn’t cope with the runoff coming down the track to the cottage and water came into the premises via the front gate. This had not happened at any time during the vendor's ownership of the property (since 2000). The patio area had standing water on it and some did enter the property via the ventilation airbricks at ground level. It was no more than 1 or 2 cm deep inside and caused no permanent damage. We have since improved the drainage with storm drains and French drains around the cottage to a level which we feel would easily have coped with the situation, and would cope with one far more severe.
