The Limes

The Limes is a house dating back to the 17th century, with alterations and extensions from the 18th century. It is constructed of coursed squared stone with a Collyweston stone slate roof, featuring ridge and lateral stacks. The house is laid out in an "L" shape. It has two storeys, a basement and an attic. The basement retains 17th-century mullioned windows. A long two-light mullioned staircase window, likely a 19th-century replacement, is found on the west side. The north front, facing the street, has two windows and features twelve-pane sash windows. An arched entranceway with a hood and lions' heads in the spandrels is located on the left side. The south front, overlooking the garden, has three windows, with a tripartite sash window on the ground floor. A central doorway is set within a roll-moulded architrave reached by a flight of steps. A similar doorway is present to the east. A 17th-century carved wooden overmantel, now located on the staircase, is a notable feature. The building is recognised for its group value.
