My WordPress site has one XML sitemap listed under Google Webmaster, but I fairly sure at one point I also had a HTML sitemap as well. Would having a HTML sitemap, in addition to XML, be advantageous for SEO and SERPS purposes?  I use the Yoast SEO plugin. New to this so would appreciate any advice please. My website in a UK home insurance brokers site.

Think of the HTML site map as a guide for users of your site.  It is a way to discover your site from a top down approach.  You may have very very few people use this but it is perceived both by users and Google as additional path(s) through your site.  If you have the energy to create this it will not be a detriment.
