Annexe
Across the driveway from the house is a modern detached two storey timber clad building with glazed doors to the front, fitted with full height wooden ‘shutter style’ doors. The ground floor is presently configured as a study/studio with glazed windows to the front affording views across the garden towards open countryside.

Ty-Corner is approached off a country lane with a private driveway and parking for several vehicles. The house sits in just under an acre of gardens and grounds comprising level lawns, wild meadow, a pretty lily pond, mature plants and trees and terraces which make the most of the views across the surrounding countryside. To one side of the annexe is a storage area and vegetable garden. The garden and grounds are protected from river water by a grassed, reinforced and membraned bund which was constructed in 1999. The bund protects Ty-Corner from occasional flooding of the lane accessing the property.

Agent’s Notes
Ty-Corner is located in a flood risk zone, the property last flooded from river water over 35 years ago. The present owners who have lived in the property for 38 years decided in 1999, to have a bund built on the perimeter of the grounds to protect the property from river flooding. The bund was built professionally by a company of civil engineers and river water has never reached the height of the bund.

In 2020 Storm Dennis caused severe flooding across the UK and this was on the back of earlier storms in late 2019. The 2019 storms caused no flooding or damage to Ty-Corner however, during the 2020 storm the bund was breached at a very low level and it transpired that rabbits / rodents had penetrated the bund creating a hole / weakness. As a result, flood water from the field (not the river) seeped through the lower level of the bund which caused the ground floor of the house to flood, the detached annexe did not flood.

...
The bund has been repaired and now includes a triple membrane with a mesh covering to prevent rodents / rabbits from being able to dig through the bank.

Ty-Corner is insured for flood risk and has not been subject to increased insurance premiums.
