Well Too And Well House

This is a house, likely dating from the late 17th or early 18th century, with extensions and remodelling in the 18th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of painted and rendered rubble and cob walls, with slate sills. The roof is steep, covered with scantle slate and gabled ends, formerly thatched; a brick chimney stands over the external breast at the left-hand gable, likely dating to the 20th century. There are three lateral brick chimneys on the rear wall. The original plan consisted of a hall to the left and a parlour to the right, with a vestibule or cross passage between them. A further house, similar in character, was built to the right, probably in the 18th century but remodelled in the 19th. The front of the house has three windows. A tall, slightly projecting, two-storey bay with an attic gables is on the left, and the remainder of the front has original window openings. A doorway is situated slightly towards the right, with a 20th-century door. The windows are late 18th to early 19th century, 12-pane, 2-light horizontal sliding casements. The interior has not been inspected. The house is part of a group of houses dating from the late 17th to early 19th centuries, located at the head of the creek at Helford.
