About the Kingskerswell Conservation Area
The Kingskerswell Conservation Area covers about 3.3 hectares and was designated by Teignbridge District Council in 1977. Inside the boundary are 10 listed buildings (1 Grade II*, 9 Grade II). The most significant is Church of St Mary, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
