TENURE   Freehold AGENTS NOTE   Boatwrights would like to inform any potential purchasers that this property suffered from Flooding in 1990 due to a high water level, and in 2014 surface water entered the property due to drainage from the hills.

As a result work has been done to prevent both events occuring again in the future, in which the village flood warden has said he is confident 4 The Dene is no longer threatened by groundwater that occasionally overflows the ditch opposite and from surface water flowing from the high ground to the rear of the property after a prolonged period of rain.

Purchasers are advised to conduct their own research prior to making an appointment to view. VIEWINGS   Strictly by appointment, only with Boatwrights.
