Agents notes:
-There is no mains gas and no mains drainage.
-The property is currently owned under 3 separate title plans.
-The property is situated in a very low risk flood zone. The vendors have informed us the property has sadly flooded previously on a few occasions since 2003, however, they have informed us that in January 2025 a considerable amount of work has been done to prevent flooding problems in the area by Staffordshire County Council. The stream approximately 100 yards away has been dredged 2.5 foot deep and the drainage ditch opposite has also been cleared, all of this has enabled the water to flow properly and since appears to have resolved any further flooding problems.
