Conservation Area: Winsford Conservation Area

The Conservation Area boundary encompasses the historic core of the village. The village is notable for its collection of traditional Exmoor village buildings in the local vernacular style, having little architectural detail but modest and well-proportioned in scale, many of which have limewashed walls and thatched roofs, it is likely that many of these houses have much earlier origins than suspected. There is also a good mix of later buildings dating from the 19th century that reflect detailing from earlier properties. The houses, church, bridges and open spaces all complement each other to form a traditional English village setting.
