Inset gutter and water seepage issue

[Robin37]

Hi all

i am hoping one of you might be able to come up with some suggestions as to how to remedy this issue. I am a a total DIY novice! As you can see from the photos, the guttering is set into the wall (its an old house). Where there are less bricks, water (when it rains heavily) is seeping in ever so slightly into the house and plasterboard.

Does anyone have any suggestions how i can somehow do something about this - is there a sealant you can spray/paint on? or is it a bit more major than that - ie move guttering onto outside of wall and replace bricks?

Take the down pipe of, build the wall up flush and re-fit the down pipe.

I`m assuming that`s discharging onto a public pavement ? I`d replace the shoe on the bottom with a 90 degree bend and a short stub of pipe - sealed on with silicone - also you can use Thompson`s water seal all over the brickwork
