A listed townhouse on a historic Georgian riverfront is set to be restored.

Fenland Council has approved plans to revamp the property on the North Brink at Wisbech.

Proposed works for the Grade II-listed Barton Lodge include repointing defective brickwork using traditional lime mortars and replacing individual damaged bricks where needed.

A planning report said the 19th-century building has suffered "structural disturbance" linked to tree roots.

Proposals for the property also include removing a modern UPVC front door and replacing it with a traditional timber door.

A planning officer’s report said the original timber six-panelled front door had been replaced without planning permission or listed building consent.

The report said "modest and conservation-led" repairs were necessary for the building’s long-term preservation, adding the work would be carried out with suitable materials and traditional repair methods.

The report concluded that the work would preserve the character and appearance of the Wisbech Conservation Area.
