Properties in Steyning
Steyning is a picturesque Sussex village at the foot of the South Downs, with a High Street lined with medieval, Tudor, and Georgian buildings. The housing includes timber-framed cottages, flint-built houses, and period terraces in the village core, with inter-war and modern development on the edges. The village conservation area includes many listed buildings.
Common Damp Issues in Steyning
Rising damp and penetrating damp through flint walls and lime mortar are the primary issues in Steyning's older properties. The timber-framed buildings may have timber decay that has developed over centuries. The village's position at the base of the Downs means ground moisture levels can be high, particularly in winter when rainwater runs off the chalk hillsides.
