Questions about Heritage House

Is Heritage House on the National Inventory?

Can you visit Heritage House?

When was Heritage House built?

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.
