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.
位于牛津郡斯塔德汉普顿的米尔溪屋(Mill Stream House)是以旁边的小溪命名的，这座房产建于18世纪。考虑到洪水风险，最初的建造者将房屋的地基铺设在高出小溪3英尺的地方。然而，与此同时建造的马车房则位于地面，并在20世纪80年代中期被改造成住宅。当理查德•普赖尔(Richard Pryor)和他的妻子在2016年开始租住这里时，很难想象这座房子会被淹。环境署(Environment Agency)网站根据上游3英里处查尔格罗夫的小溪水位发出警告，显示洪水的危险性很小。
