Before-1919 homes make up 35% of the stock here. Solid-walled houses behave differently from modern ones; watch for hard cement pointing and modern coatings that hold moisture in, and treat any 'rising damp' diagnosis from a damp-proofing salesman with caution.

Under most of Millbrook the bedrock is mudstone, siltstone and sandstone (77%) and interbedded sandstone and conglomerate (23%). This is the 'killas' country of slate and shale; older homes are often rubble stone, sometimes slate-hung, and weathering of soft stone and mortar is common.

The BGS GeoSure 5 km hexagon covering Millbrook shows moderate shrink-swell clay, moderate slope instability (landslides) potential. That's a broad screen, not a site assessment; look for cracking, sticking doors and leaning walls.
