Description
St. Helens is an 18th-century house with a wing added to the left between 1914 and 1920. The building is timber framed and features plasterwork designed to imitate ashlar. It has a pantiled roof and stands two storeys high, with three 19th-century sash windows, which have blind pelmets on the first floor. There is a mid-20th century conservatory-type porch, and the interior has been modernised. The house is included for its group value.
