Ivory Cottage is a well-presented three-bedroom home comprising a spacious reception room, fitted kitchen, family bathroom and three double bedrooms, with the second bedroom benefiting from an en-suite shower room.

Flood Risk

Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.

Rivers and the sea

Very low risk

Planning map: Flood Zone 1.
