From the pics it has plenty of potential doesn't it? Like the front- pretty and cottagey. I don't know anything about the area but I can see why you're taken by the house.

Thank you, that's really what drew me to the property and the surrounding area is quite nice.

OP if you have the time, or make the time to visit and have a look around the area

Thank you, I think I'll go over an afternoon this week and check out the area properly and see how it fairs at different parts of the day.

Thanks for highlighting - will definitely make sure I get this checked out properly before making an offer.

I'd take that flood checker with a pinch of salt and make your own enquiries. I've just put my address in where I have lived over 20 years and it says the same as the house you are interested in. There has not been a single incident of flooding anywhere near here.

My house is also in an area at risk of flooding from groundwater, not from rivers or sea; ironic, since we have a (small) river not too far away but the ground does slope away from us... Or it did, until "developers" (I have a different name for them) began building a housing estate on the flood plain behind us.

OP, please take into account the possibility of further new-build incursions around the property you intend to buy. Please do your research; don't buy in haste and repent at leisure.

Best of luck and please come back and let us know how you get on.
