I’m not 100% sure it has a dpc as built in 1900, but regardless seems right to be lowering the outside level.
The survey was well before all of the heavy rain and this part in particular wasn’t visible. It mentioned some damp in line with what you’d expect for a Victorian property. They mentioned replacing gutters, lowering outside levels and redirecting the rainwater as well as re-rendering – but I know everyone seems to suggest not to do this but instead use lime plaster?
