About the Barford Conservation Area
The Barford Conservation Area covers about 57 hectares and was designated by Warwick District Council in 1969. Inside the boundary are 43 listed buildings (2 Grade II*, 41 Grade II). The most significant is Barford House, Grade II*. Part of the area lies in flood zone 3, so an extension may need a flood risk assessment.
