    Im interested in a house which is architecturally listed and rated "regional".
    It has massive potential.
    It is in need of major renovations.
    I have no problem keeping everything exactly as is.
    What i would like to know is how stringent are the rules with regards to replacement of doors and windows.
    The windows are timber sliding sash windows. Could these be replaced/upgraded to double/triple glazed? If the existing windows need to be retained could they be re-glazed with modern glazing. Id imagine this would be very pricy.
    Anyway, early stages, where would i gather info/read up on renovating architecturally listed properties so i know whether its something i want to pursue.
    The compulsive side of my brain (the main part) is saying go for it.

    It would be best to organise a meeting with the co council.

    I was looking at a listed property and the roof was not slate but asbestos tiles.

    The glass itself could also be protected. As old glass has a character modern glass does not.

    If you can arrange to meet someone from the conservation section of the relevant local authority it would help greatly because different authorities are open or closed to different things depending on the building and it's characteristics and circumstances.

    Your milage may vary - I've found some very helpful and others .... slightly less so!
