Buying a historic house in Bedford
Stone walls, wells, septic and the historic district: what to understand before buying an older Bedford house.
By Catherine Ashworth, Licensed Associate Real Estate Broker

The historic district
In the Bedford Village historic district, exterior changes require review. That protects what you are buying.
