A house of character is an old Maltese townhouse or village core property that retains its original architectural features: limestone arches, timber beams, patterned tiles, internal courtyards and often a well. They are found in the historic centres of Valletta, Birgu, Senglea, Bormla, Rabat, Mdina, Zejtun, Zurrieq and across Gozo. Unlike a farmhouse, they sit inside a village or city street rather than on open land, so they trade on interior volume and period detail. Many are scheduled or fall within urban conservation areas, which constrains alterations but supports value. Buyers commonly filter for bedroom count, whether a courtyard or roof terrace is included, and whether the property is restored or requires works.
