Many homes in the village centre are constructed from local White Lias limestone, a distinctive building material that requires specific maintenance approaches. When viewing period properties, look for signs of damp penetration, particularly in ground-floor rooms and basements, and check the condition of stonework pointing, which may require periodic renewal.
