Chapel Keeper'S House Immediately West Of Methodist Church

The Chapel Keeper's House, located immediately west of the Methodist Church in Helston, was built in 1883. This building is constructed from slatestone rubble with granite dressings, which include a plinth and mullioned windows, as well as buttresses, end corbels, and dormer copings. The roof is made of grouted slate, featuring projecting verges with pierced barge boards and chamfered collars, topped with crested clay ridge tiles. The house has a small rectangular plan and is designed in the Gothic Revival style, standing two storeys high with first-floor rooms partly in the roof space. The front of the house is symmetrical, with a central gabled dormer above the porch, flanked by two ground-floor windows. There are end buttresses and a buttressed porch that contains a shouldered doorway, which has a four-pane overlight and a framed door with V-jointed boards. The windows are two-light, including central windows on each gable end. The interior has not been inspected. The Methodist Church and its keeper's house were built at a total cost of £3,500, as noted in Kelly's Directory of Devonshire and Cornwall from 1902.
