5 listed buildings within 150 m
Nearest: Duncastle Farmhouse, The Snug and The Cider Press, Grade II, 51 m away · 5 Grade II
The site itself is not listed. Listed building consent is needed for work that affects the special interest of a listed building, inside or out, on top of planning permission. Setting can be a consideration for buildings nearby; there is no fixed radius.
