A listed building is a building of national importance which is protected due to its special architectural or historic interest. The older the building, the more likely it is to be listed. Every property built before 1700 is listed, as are most built between 1700 and 1840.

The best people to speak to will be your local council. They will have a database of which buildings are listed. 

If your property is listed then you will still be able to carry out internal works but not structural changes without council permission.
