Frequently asked about character properties in Warwickshire

What's classed as a character property?

Generally any home with original period features and history — typically pre-1930 — including cottages, farmhouses, barns, manors, rectories, mills, period townhouses and converted historic buildings.

Are character properties always listed?

No. Many character homes have original features but no listing. Listed status is awarded by Historic England (or equivalents in Wales/Scotland) for buildings of special architectural or historic interest.

Can I extend or modernise a listed character home?

Usually yes, but Listed Building Consent is required for most internal and external changes. Sympathetic extensions, glazing, heating and kitchen upgrades are often approved — heavy-handed alterations rarely are.

Are character homes harder to insure?

Standard insurers will cover most character homes but specialist insurers are often better value for thatched, listed or non-standard-construction properties.
