Agents Note - In October 2023 the property was victim to a flood. It appears that there were a number of factors that came together all at one time that contributed to this. The current owner has kindly put together the following paragraph to explain. Should you require any further information on this please contact the office.
Flooding in Dauntsey Village occurred during a period of unprecedented rainfall, in the height of the impact of Storm Babet in October 2023. The impact of the heavy rainfall was compounded by flooding from the motorway and poorly maintained drainage.
The amount of water that entered the property was minimal (around 1-2cm) but as a result, renovation took place to ensure that all floors and walls were dry.
Since this event, the drains have been cleared, it has been proven that culverts running under the motorway need to be widened to support water drainage (work to start Spring 2025) and the council and environment agency have agreed to cover the cost of clearing the brook (with plans being put in place to influence riparian owners of land to maintain their areas of responsibility).
Whilst renovation work was being carried out in the property, in Feb 2024 a gap in the membrane and cementing in the snug (adjoining the kitchen) and a high water table resulted in water entering under the property but below floor level. As a result, full, professional drying of the concrete was carried out, with the gap professionally filled and the membrane extended. The property has been completely unimpacted by any subsequent storms.
Heating & Solar - The property benefits from an air source heat pump and solar panelling. The current owner has put together the following paragraph to explain the merits and workings. Should you require further information on this please contact the office.
The property has an exceptional energy performance rating due to the improvements that have been made. The solar panels in situ are leased, meaning that the owner does not benefit from payments for the energy that is generated but does benefit from being able to use this free energy in the home. During the summer months, through monitoring usage on the Smart meter, it is very common for the property to be powered purely by the free solar at the brightest periods of the day.
Any free energy that is generated from the panels and not used in the property, would usually just be exported from the property to the national grid. However, the property benefits from a MyEnergi Eddi, which diverts any free solar powered energy that is about to be exported (not used) and pushes it to heat the property's hot water tank.
Heating is powered by a very efficient air sourced heat pump (Midea), with radiators being upgraded where needed so that the house benefits from a constant, steady state of comfort. Should the owners wish to feel a boost of heat beyond this (the heat pump easily maintains the property at 22 degrees + if required), there is a fully serviced log burner in the family room.
The hot water tank works like any conventional tank, with high pressured water around the house
