The Old Vicarage in Helmsley, a Grade II listed building dating from 1890-1910, is on the market with planning permission to convert it into five homes.

The Old Vicarage on Bondgate in Helmsley is on the market with full planning consent to convert the Grade II listed building into five homes. The property dates from 1890 to 1910 and was originally designed for Reverend Charles Norris Gray. It is described by estate agents Cundalls as a 'landmark building' with notable architectural character and historical significance.

The building operated as a substantial domestic residence, featuring a two-storey kitchen, service bells, a food lift, laundry room, butler's pantry and cellar. During the Second World War, the Barclay family rented the house to escape the London Blitz. In 1974, ownership transferred to North Yorkshire County Council, and the building subsequently housed the Forestry Commission, police, and the North York Moors National Park Authority.

The Old Vicarage is an 'accomplished Queen Anne-style building' with a blend of architectural detailing and balanced period proportions, set within extensive private gardens and grounds. Cundalls describes the sale as a 'genuinely rare residential development opportunity' in the centre of the sought-after market town of Helmsley.
