About the Winfrith Newburgh Conservation Area
The Winfrith Newburgh Conservation Area covers about 23 hectares and was designated by Dorset Council in 1977. Inside the boundary are 40 listed buildings (3 Grade II*, 37 Grade II). The most significant is Manor House, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
