Description
The Hoy and Helmet Inn is a public house that dates from the 15th or 16th century, or possibly earlier. It features a hall house and crosswing design, with later alterations and additions. The building is timber framed and plastered, topped with red plain tiled roofs. There are three chimney stacks: one is off-centre to the right of the central hall, another is to the left of the left crosswing, and the third is to the left of a single-storey left extension.
The central hall house has crosswings that are two storeys high, with roofs hipped towards the road. The central section includes a one-storey and attic hall with a gabled dormer. To the right, there is an 18th-century two-storey addition with a hipped roof. On the left, a single-storey addition from the 19th or 20th century features a 20th-century door with a fanlight above it.
The first-floor windows consist of a range of 1:1:1:2, while the ground floor has a pattern of 1:1:2:1, primarily featuring 18th-century small-paned vertically sliding sashes. Notable exceptions include an angled bay window on the ground floor to the left and two small 20th-century windows on the right crosswing. The left side has a 20th-century door with a top light, while the right crosswing has a panelled door with two top lights, a moulded surround, and a flat canopy supported by brackets. The right addition has a panelled door with a fluted surround and frieze, topped with a moulded and dentilled pediment on brackets.
