Not in an at-risk area
EX39 3RU has no properties in any Environment Agency recorded flood-risk band. That is good news — but it is area-level and never proof a place cannot flood (surface-water and sewer flooding are assessed separately). See the at-risk postcodes in EX39 or get the full picture below.
The ground here sits at about 26 m above sea level and falls 63 m across the surrounding 800 m. Surface water reaching this point runs off ground lying to the south-east, 42.5 m higher.
Because 2 recorded floods nearby; 311 official warnings since 2006.
