BERE FERRERS SX 46 NW 2/8 Helstone Farmhouse - - II
Farmhouse. C17 with possibly earlier wing, considerably modernised in circa mid C19. Rubble walls, rendered at rear and slate hung to first floor at the front. Gable ended slate roof. Projecting rubble stack at each gable end, those to left- hand end and rear wing are rendered. Projecting rendered rubble lateral stack at rear. Rear wing with gable end stack and adjoining stair projection may represent the oldest part of the house to which a 3-room-and-through-passage plan building was added at right angles to the higher left end in the C17. This had lower room to left;inner and lower rooms heated by gable end stack and hall heated by rear lateral stack, possibly with stairs in a projection adjoining. The house was considerably modernised internally probably in the mid C19 when original features such as beams and open fireplaces are likely to have been concealed and the rear of the passage blocked. 2 storeys. Asymmetrical 4 window front of mainly 3 light, small paned casements. 1st floor window left of centre is 2 lights, this window and the one to its right are C18 with H-hinges and the old glass surviving. The other windows are probably C19. To left of centre is small C20 slate roofed porch with double glazed doors and C19 part glazed door behind. At the rear to the right of the lateral stack is a small rectangular projection probably for a staircase though it is unclear whether it is original or not. There is a similar projection on the outer face of the rear wing adjoining the stack. Interior not inspected,believed to have the visible early features. No access to roof space. This house preserves an attractive traditional exterior and is likely to conceal some early internal features.
