Helmington Hall Including Adjacent Storage Building And Gateway

Helmington Hall, along with an adjacent storage building and gateway, is a house that was originally dated 1686, with additions and alterations made around 1805. The structure incorporates earlier materials in the adjoining building and gateway. It is constructed from thinly-rendered sandstone rubble, featuring ashlar dressings and quoins. The roof is primarily pantiled, with Welsh slate at the eaves and the east end, and includes rendered brick chimneys on the house and brick chimneys on the adjacent building, along with stone gable copings.

The house is a double-pile design, two storeys high, with four bays; the right side has a gable, and there is a low one-storey, one-bay pent extension on the right. To the left, there is a one-storey, three-bay building, and at the extreme left is the gateway. The house has a blocked door in the third bay, framed by a bolection-moulded architrave beneath a floating cornice. The datestone has been removed. The windows have scrolled pediments, with the ground floor windows being of late 19th-century style in raised stone surrounds, while the first-floor windows in the first three bays have glazing bars. There is a plain sash window in the gabled right bay and a smaller square window at the gable peak on the right.

The one-storey building to the left features a blocked door at the right end with large irregular-block jambs and blocked windows in the other bays, which are separated by a coped buttress with one offset. The house has white brick chimneys, and there is a massive rendered stack between the first and second bays of the left building, which has offsets on brick copings, along with a truncated chimney at the left end. The left return of the main house displays Gothic elements, featuring a Y-traceried window at the left beneath a gable string and parapet, with a small round opening in a square stone surround at the right in the gable peak. The gateway at the extreme left has a high parapet over a four-centred arch, flanked by buttresses and topped with chamfered stone coping.

Inside, the house features a deeply-moulded stucco cornice in the rear left room on the first floor. The storage building contains pigeon nest boxes made of stone flags on brick supports in the gable and rear wall of the loft.
