Helmsley House The Cottage

Helmsley House and The Cottage is a house and attached barn that has been converted into a cottage. It dates from the mid-18th century and features 20th-century additions. The house is constructed of brick in header bond, while the cottage is in English bond, with a Welsh slate roof on the house and a pantile roof on the cottage, along with brick stacks.

The house has a gable end facade that is three storeys high and consists of three bays, with single-storey 20th-century additions on both the left and right sides. There is a six-panel door in the extension to the left. The central bay is canted and has a flat roof, featuring 16-pane and 12-pane sash windows. The outer bays also have 12-pane sashes. There are first and second floor bands, and all windows except the one in the centre of the ground floor are topped with keyed flat brick arches. On the second floor, there is a Diocletian window flanked by uneven 9-pane sashes, all beneath keyed brick arches. The verges have barge boards, and there is a ridge stack.

The cottage, located to the right, is two storeys high and has a single fixed four-pane window on the ground floor and two sashes with glazing bars on the first floor. The entrance is at the rear. The cottage features a pantile roof, raised gable ends, and ridge stacks.

Inside the house, there is an original mid-18th century staircase and intact original panelling in the main reception room. The board door by the staircase has H-L hinges.
