Buying house in a conservation area?

[Igurisu]

We have made an offer on a house, not yet accepted. I've found from the local council website that the property is in a conservation area. As far as I've read so far, it seems similar to a grade 2 listed building but extends to the exterior to include trees and fences. Nothing is worrying us so far, but should we have any concerns?

Area there any hidden or little known pitfalls?

Thanks for the replies all, as said above the conservation area is probably a good thing and keeps the village looking as nice as it does and one of the reasons we are attracted to it. The large double garage is the added PH element 😀

The house itself is not listed which I was surprised at as it is almost 300 years old.

Thanks again for the input.

Thanks again for the input, I've had a call from the agent earlier, our offer has been accepted.

Sheepshanks, I understand what you are saying but I assume that it would get picked up by my conveyancing solicitor anyway.

I was looking at the planning portal of the council website to look for planned developments or future SAMDev land allocation (Shropshire council). We don't have any plans to extend/modernise/change anything, just redecoration, we are happy with the property the way it is. Having looked a little more at the council website, the area is defined as part of the Shropshire AONB, so that works for us. It's why we like it there and have no plans to change anything.
