A couple has been awarded £3.3 million in compensation after flood-related works damage their historic riverside property, according to reports. The Independent and Daily Mail say the house is a Tudor-era home that has historical links to King Henry VIII. The reports state that flooding and damage affected both the property’s garden and a swimming pool. The Daily Mail describes the couple as retired historians and says the home was valued at about £2 million, with the payout reflecting the extent of damage and related losses. The Independent adds that part of the compensation includes nearly £200,000 toward building a new swimming pool. Both outlets attribute responsibility for the flood work damage to the Environment Agency (EA), as reported by the parties involved. The articles describe the award as a settlement following the damage, but do not provide additional details on the specific court or formal procedure leading to the figure. No further context on the timeline of the works, the size of the flood event, or the exact claims breakdown beyond the swimming pool element is included in the provided summaries.
