Description
Lime House is an early to mid-18th century house with an adjoining barn, and a later 19th-century extension to the left. The house is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with brick dressings and a stack, while the extension is in red brick. The roofs are covered in pantiles. The fenestration is irregular, with one first-floor window to the house, and a single pitching hatch to the barn. Quoins are visible on the first floor of the house's left side. The front of the house has a plain door in the centre, with a three-light sliding sash window to the left, set under a wooden lintel, and another similar sash window to the left end, under a segmental brick arch. Above these, there's a smaller three-light sliding sash window, and a plank door to the pitching hatch to the right. A raking dormer has a casement window. All windows have glazing bars. The roof is hipped on the right side, with a stepped brick coped gable to the left. An axial stack is present. The extension, set back from the main building, has a plank door in the angle with a flush sash window to the left, under a segmental arch. The return side that faces the street has two similar sash windows on each floor, along with a tumbled gable and an end stack. Inside the original section of the house, there is a roof with pegged butt-purlins.
