Thanks for the replies!
I've looked a wee bit into the historic requirements, and evidentially this building isn't listed itself, but the town it is in has some less stringent requirements. Those should be relatively easy to stay within, but I've yet to get a copy of the rules in full to review.
The project would be to keep the exterior in original-ish looking condition, and then revamp the inside to be livable. If I can keep the original woodwork and all in shape, I'll likely try, because it's neat stuff.
Nooneofconsequence, for your restoration/renovation job: How much over-budget were you once you'd gotten done? 110%? 500%? Somewhere in between?
PerpetualStudent: Thanks for the heads up. I'll make sure to get a full crew into the place to take a look before I make an offer.
CA: 800 year old building, eh? That's both impressive and frustrating, with his situation, insulated windows would likely be a great improvement! I'm hoping this house isn't completely wrecked by neglect, but we'll see.
