A listed house on a town's grand Georgian street is set to be given a facelift to help preserve it.

Fenland Council has agreed plans to renovate the property overlooking the River Nene on the North Brink at Wisbech.

They include replacing a rotting timber beam supporting its first floor in an extension at the rear and a new front door.

The council's conservation officer said the building was in "a condition that requires timely intervention".

The beam will be replaced by a steel joist which will be cloaked in wood.

The officer said the new door would be more consistent with the period of the building’s construction, rather than the current 1950s style, adding: "This would ultimately improve the character and appearance of the building."

The Wisbech Society did not object to the plans.
