Agree with gymgoer - we were having other work done to our house a few years ago and our builder was very persuasive indeed with the argument that we should replace our original single-glazed but perfectly functional Victorian sash windows with new ones - it was a real struggle to come up with the extra money for them, as we had not budgeted for any window replacement originally, but boy was it worth every penny! They look even better than the originals and are really well-insulated and open and close beautifully smoothly. Please, please don't get PVC for all the reasons given by gymgoer - mainly aesthetic and financial value! Wooden sash windows will cost a lot more but SOOOOO worthwhile!
