Been narrowing down the area search for buying our first home, and Queensville (Ampleforth Drive area) is a good contender.
However, it's obviously very close to the River Penk, and the grassy area to the east always seems to have some flood water on it. Just checked the Environment Agency website, and it shows that an alarming number of houses there are at medium risk of flooding, one of the very few housing areas in Stafford falling under that category.
Prices certainly don't seem too bad for the area, so I'm assuming it's maybe because of the potential flood risk? So can I kindly ask those of you who've seen many a flood over the years here in Stafford, are you aware of any of these homes/roads on this estate ever being flooded since they were built in the 80's/90's?
