Description
Hellesdon House is a house dating from the late 18th century, standing two storeys with attics and featuring a gable front. The building is constructed of gault brick, which is painted on the front elevation, and has a parapet gable along with a string course at the first floor. The roof is pantiled and includes axial chimneys made of gault brick. The windows are sash style, with flat arches made of gauged brick, and the south garden elevation retains several original small-pane sashes, although some have been replaced with 19th-century sashes. The entrance door is panelled and set back within panelled reveals, topped by a semicircular fanlight with radial glazing bars. The door is adorned with a Doric entablature featuring a broken pediment and enriched with dentils, supported by half-columns. Inside, the house retains its original staircase and other late 18th-century internal joinery.
