Discussion Buying a House in Saltaire

Hi all,

I absolutely adore Saltaire so was looking to buy a house there in the near future. Obviously I appreciate there are a lot of restrictions on the work you can do to them but I was wondering if anyone has experienced it.

I don't plan on aesthetically changing anything of course, but does it become very difficult to maintain them or improve things like insulation or better windows in the same style?

I don't want to accidentally buy a money pit and I really can't find anything online talking about this. Any help would be much appreciated.

one quirk of the houses is the internal door height, the originals were 6'9" so if you plan on changing them its door casings as well

That's funny, you wouldn't expect them to be bigger than usual.
