Agents Notes

We understand from our client that the property suffered flooding in November 2024 and January 2025 caused by a nearby blocked drain. We believe Dorset Council have since carried out work to the drain. The property had not previously flooded during 18 years of ownership. Ultrafast broadband is available. Mobile network coverage is limited with some providers indoors and likely outdoors with all networks.
