Hi just an update if anyone is interested. Managed to get personal contact details for the owner and they told us there is drainage, a burn and the land has never been prone to flooding. Apparently it was used as a fully worked small holding for years but in the last 10 their parents got older...

Contacted the estate agent today and they have closed down completely for viewings so we have a few weeks to think about it as it looks like...
