Mill Stream House in Stadhampton, Oxfordshire, is named after the brook that runs beside the 18th-century property. Mindful of the flood risk, the original builders laid the base of the house 3 feet above the brook. The home’s coach house, built around the same time and converted into a home in the mid-1980s, was on ground level, however. When Richard Pryor and his wife started renting it in 2016, it was hard to imagine the home would ever flood. The Environment Agency website, which based warnings on the water level of the brook 3 miles upstream at Chalgrove, showed the danger was remote.
位于牛津郡斯塔德漢普頓的米爾溪屋(Mill Stream House)是以旁邊的小溪命名的，這座房產建于18世紀。考慮到洪水風險，最初的建造者將房屋的地基鋪設在高出小溪3英尺的地方。然而，與此同時建造的馬車房則位于地面，并在20世紀80年代中期被改造成住宅。當理查德?普賴爾(Richard Pryor)和他的妻子在2016年開始租住這里時，很難想象這座房子會被淹。環境署(Environment Agency)網站根據上游3英里處查爾格羅夫的小溪水位發出警告，顯示洪水的危險性很小。
