Can anyone tell me what is so special about the house...

I have read the conservationsists web page and so on..

Is 'Jackling' somebody?

In the UK it's quite simple.. If a house is in a protected band then you can't even sneeze in it without permission, even if it's been your familly home for generations.. Obviously the bands are graded, and you may only have minor restrictions.. But if it's full on listed you are screwed..

One funny problem is that some people in some of our rarer 'wattle and daub' (Mud houses) in the South cannot have certain kinds of heating, or double glazing because it damages the walls...
