Homeowners living on an exclusive estate have gone to war with a housebuilding giant claiming poor drainage has left them with sunken gardens after every downpour.
Families thought they had bought their dream homes with expansive views across the western fells of the Lake District but for those who now own a property on the Edgehill Park estate in Cumbria that dream has become a nightmare.
Every time it rains water swamps their patios, almost lapping into the house in extreme cases and homeowners claim housebuilder Story Homes has failed to provide adequate drainage.
One young family has been left so furious they staged a very visible protest outside the show home on the estate to warn off prospective buyers.
Dean and Rachel Hodgson made a banner showing their deluged patio and added the caption: 'this is what our garden looks like after a small amount of rain.'
