Thanks for this - going to book a drainage survey and see what it is. Today noticed the interior wall on the other side of the damaged bricks/render is getting damp after the rain/snow. Think the render needs to be stripped back and investigated now too.

Thanks I won't worry about the French drain then. There isn't any obvious signs of damp in the house other than those pictures I sent - no musty smells, peeling/flaking paint anywhere else at all. The bay is also completely fine, it is just around this extension where we have the issue, which...

This is great advice - thank you. I'll look into the pebble solution to prevent any further damage, and potentially getting some insulation in at a later stage. The floor there isn't even level anyway, so will need to go down there. The paint is just flaking internally, basically to the walls...
