Yes, and with markedly less heritage paperwork than a village of this age has any right to expect. Thirty-five buildings carry a listing. Not one square metre of the place sits in a conservation area. There is a single scheduled monument, out in the fields where monuments belong. Unless you have bought one of the protected few, what limits your extension is the budget and the neighbour, in that order.
Historic England's register carries 35 listed buildings in and around the village: one at Grade I, four at Grade II star and 30 at Grade II. Listing covers the building as a whole rather than just the elevation facing the road, so on those 35 addresses a window replacement becomes a consent application rather than a Saturday. For every other house here, the register is scenery you can enjoy without owning any of the responsibility.
One scheduled monument sits inside the mapped area. That is the strictest protection tier in the system, and it matters chiefly to anyone whose land runs up against it, because consent for works near a monument is a separate process from planning and a considerably less cheerful one.
The planning register is the honest evidence of what actually gets built here. There were 242 applications across this area between April 2024 and June 2026, with 108 of them in the last twelve months. Whatever else this village is, it is not one where people have quietly abandoned the idea of altering their houses.
In practical terms, most homes here fall outside the heritage constraints altogether, which puts an extension into ordinary territory: permitted development for the modest work, a full application for anything that moves the footprint or the roofline beyond what the rules already allow. Two checks are worth doing before anyone pays for drawings. Whether the specific property is listed, given 35 addresses locally are. And whether it sits within the South Devon area of outstanding natural beauty, which covers about 65% of the area and will be sitting on the district council's desk alongside your application.
Room to alter a house is one of the stronger things about buying here: a short list of protected addresses, no conservation area boundary to argue across, and a planning register showing plenty of neighbours already getting on with it.
