About Helvic
The National Inventory rates Helvic Regional, one of 232 in Knockrea. Its record dates Helvic to 1900–1940. 27 other places on the record stand within 400 m.
An interesting example of an early twentieth house with some traces of the Arts and Crafts Movement in its design, seen in the high brick chimneystacks, oriel windows and the joinery of the canted bays. The original garage door from this period is also noteworthy.

Questions about Helvic
Is Helvic on the National Inventory?
Yes: rated Regional (record 20868005).
Can you visit Helvic?
Many historic buildings are private homes; this one can be seen from the street.
When was Helvic built?
Its National Inventory record dates it to 1900–1940.
Is Helvic protected?
Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
