Due to the impact to the house, several cracks have appeared on the exterior of the building and existing cracks have already widened.

The impact has also resulted in water coming into the property at lower levels, forming damp patches on the wall in the basement.

Chichester District Councillor Anne Scicluna commented at the time of the collision: “It’s tragic because it is a beautiful building. They are all listed and in a conservation area.
