Depends on your plans and whether you wish to do any form of renovations/extension/building works. It also depends on the reasons for the listing (can be found on Historic England) and your Local Authority's aversion to proposed changes (look up simial applications to listed buildings in your area).
Generally speaking, it will be a thunderous PITA and you will bemoan it for the full duration of any proposed changes. It is likely that you will spend considerably more, and end up with considerably less than you originally wanted as well.
Having worked on numerous grade II and grade II* listed buildings, I do not think I would ever entertain buying one.

Thread-relevant chat time: people who’ve bought listed properties (Grade II only, no * or I trickiness), talk to me. Is it a huge mistake?
