Listed Properties

There are over 60,000 thatched properties in Britain, and roughly 75% of these are listed by English Heritage.

Their gradings are from Grade I, Grade II* and Grade II.

Listed Building Consent is required for alterations affecting the character of these properties, from doors and windows to thatch. A change of the thatching material is also included in this.

Grants may be available for owners of listed buildings, but it is not standard across the county. Both local councils and English Heritage offer grants.
