Winchester is rich in Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian architecture. Renovating these properties requires a delicate balance between modern upgrades and preserving character.
Top Tips:
- Retain Original Features: Keep sash windows, cornicing, and fireplaces where possible.
- Use Appropriate Materials: Lime plaster, heritage paints and reclaimed bricks ensure your renovation blends with the original.
- Plan for Listed Building Consent: Homes in the Cathedral Close or Fulflood may require approval from Winchester City Council before making changes.
A specialist architect can help ensure your renovation enhances your home’s history while making it more functional for modern living.
