Medieval chequers and cathedral close
The city's historic 'chequers' contain many listed timber-framed and Georgian buildings. Painting them calls for breathable, traditional finishes and, for colour changes, consent from the council.
Outside the centre, Harnham, Bishopdown and Laverstock are mostly family homes where interior refreshes and exterior woodwork are the usual jobs.

Painting outside in South West England: weather and permissions
The South West is mild but wet, with Atlantic weather reaching Devon and Cornwall first. Masonry needs a dry spell before it is painted, and coastal homes face salt and driving rain, so breathable masonry paints and well-prepared woodwork make a real difference. Bath stone and Cotswold stone are usually left unpainted.
Repainting in the existing colour rarely needs permission, but listed buildings, and homes in conservation areas covered by an Article 4 direction, can need consent to paint the front or change its colour. More on exterior painting.
