Description
Lime Kiln Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with later additions and alterations. It is constructed of brick, rendered at the front and sides, and features a roof made of slates and stone slates that is hipped at the right end, with three ridge chimney stacks. The building has a roughly L-shaped plan, created by adding a double-pile range of three bays facing west to the rear of the left half of an earlier two-bay house that faces south. This earlier section has a two-storey gabled projection at its centre, likely the original porch.
The farmhouse is two storeys high, with the current front door located at the junction of the later addition and the original house. This door is sheltered by a gabled brick porch and is flanked on each floor by tall 20-paned casement windows. There are also two smaller but similar windows on each floor at the left end. The south front of the building is now blind, except for one small window on each floor in the left side wall of the former porch, and one larger window on each floor to the right of it; all of these windows have glazing bars.
Inside, the original house features unusual halved quarter round moulded beams on both floors and in the bay at the rear. There is a coved cupboard with painted spandrels, a spiral newel attic staircase, and in the front upper chamber, a painted wooden overmantel depicting a landscape with a castle and five figures dressed in early 17th-century clothing, flanked by pairs of slim columns coupled at the head by a scrolled cap of Ionic design. Additionally, two stones inscribed "C T C" and "1684" are now incorporated into the garden wall, which is not included in the listing and may have originated from the house.
