Not meaningfully, and the maps are unusually blunt about it. The river and sea flood zones cover none of the village. What little risk registers comes from surface water, and it touches a small share of postcodes. No recorded flooding shows up in the area at all. The Teign is close enough to look at and far enough below to stay out of the conversation.
Start with rivers and the sea, because that is what most buyers mean by flooding. The Environment Agency's flood zones cover 0% of the village's postcodes on zone 3, the higher-probability band, and 0% on zone 2, the additional medium-probability fringe that sits beyond zone 3 rather than containing it. Both bands are empty here. That is not a common result for a place within sight of an estuary, and it is the single strongest fact in this whole answer.
Surface water is the one that actually does something. It is a different measure entirely, mapped by where rain collects and runs rather than by where a river or the sea reaches, and it is the indicator behind essentially all of the risk flagged in the village. Roughly 2% of postcodes come back high on at least one flood indicator once surface water is included, which is a handful of spots rather than a pattern. Water finding a low point in a heavy storm is a drainage question, not an estuary question, and it is answered street by street.
The forward look is equally quiet. The climate-adjusted flood zone, which extends the mapping to allow for higher sea levels and heavier rainfall over the coming decades, also covers 0% of the village's postcodes. The village stays outside the zones even when the modelling assumes conditions get worse.
For insurance, that combination is about as clean as a coastal parish gets. A property outside the mapped flood zones and outside any recorded flood extent should not attract a flood loading, and cover should be available on ordinary terms from ordinary insurers. The exception is a specific address that sits in a surface-water hollow, where an insurer may price the individual property rather than the postcode, so the quote is worth obtaining before the survey rather than after it.
On the wider postcode picture, which folds surface water in alongside rivers and the sea, about 2% of postcodes rate high on at least one measure, about 4% medium and about 15% low. Those bands overlap with the zone figures above rather than adding to them: a postcode counted here can be the same postcode counted nowhere in the river and sea zones, because the two are measuring different water.
Defences are worth naming precisely because there is nothing to name. Modelled flood extents cover 0% of the village's postcodes whether defended or undefended, so the question of what stands between the water and the house does not arise here. Where it does arise elsewhere, "defended" means only that a defence exists in the model, not that a property behind it is safe.
The coast is genuinely close. About 13% of the village's postcodes sit within 500 metres of the coastline, which is the threshold the data uses rather than a claim about any one address, and the nearest postcode sits about 310 metres from the water. The median across the village is roughly 830 metres.
Every postcode falls under a shoreline management plan, and the stated policy across the 20, 50 and 100 year horizons is to hold the line, meaning the intention is to maintain the existing coastal defence position rather than let it retreat. A policy is an intention held by public bodies with budgets that change, not a guarantee and not a structure that already stands.
For context on the sea itself, the nearest tide gauge at Devonport recorded a rise of about 2.35 millimetres a year across its 1962 to 2015 record. That is a measured historic rate over that period, not a forecast for the next one.
No historic flooding is recorded in the area, covering 0% of postcodes. Absence of a record is real reassurance and worth having, though it means nothing has been logged rather than that nothing has ever happened.
Flooding is one of the quieter parts of the case for this village, with the mapped river and sea risk sitting at nothing and only a scatter of surface-water spots to check on a specific address before committing.
