The farmhouse and cottage have not been inhabited for around 25 years and the farm buildings are now used primarily for storage.  The buildings have fallen into decay and are in need of significant investment in order to conserve the historic fabric.

Heritage Lincolnshire is working to raise the necessary funding to repair these buildings and to bring them back into use.  The first stage of this is to complete an options appraisal on the building to assess the cost of repairs, the potential uses for the buildings and the funding required.

This building is considered to be of national significance and it is a landmark building within the centre of Helpringham village.  The front symmetrical with a centrally placed doorway and fine hemispherical domed hood is a rare feature and internally, the building retains many of its original architectural features These include 18th century corner cupboards and panelling, wooden shutters, a fine staircase.  Much of the original fabric has also survived such as reed backed plaster walls and ceilings, plaster moulded cornices and lime ash floor.  Evidence suggests that the rear wing could be up to 400 years old, and further investigation is needed to trace its history and development.
