Limehurst House

Limehurst House is a house built in the early 19th century, with additions and alterations made in the mid 19th century and 20th century. The building is constructed of rendered brick and features hipped and gabled slate roofs, along with various rendered ridge and end stacks. The 20th-century additions have flat roofs. The house is three storeys tall, with some single-storey extensions, and was originally designed in an L-plan with a central staircase at the entrance front, which has since been extended.

The front of the house has a three-window arrangement on the first floor, featuring triple unhorned sash windows in a 2/2:6/6:2/2 configuration, all with moulded architraves. The second floor has similar unhorned sashes arranged in a 1/1:3/3:1/1 pattern, with a central 3/3 sash. On the ground floor, there are 20th-century French windows on either side of a central wooden doorcase that has an open pediment and a six-panel door with a fanlight above. To the right side, there is a two-window range of sashes on the upper floors, while the left side has blind windows. The ground floor features a French window and a glazed door and window, all set within basket-arched recesses. At the back, there is a mid 19th-century addition with a stone canted bay, along with various doors and windows on the left and rear, including a 6/6 sash on the first floor.

Inside, the house has a stick baluster staircase that leads from the ground floor to the attic. Most floors retain six- and four-panel doors. Original fireplaces are found in the three attic rooms, while one mid 19th-century fireplace is located on the first floor; other fireplaces have been blocked or are from the 20th century. Some rooms feature ceiling cornices, and in the rear right ground floor room, there is a coved ceiling with plasterwork rose and border. The cellar rooms beneath the front range have shallow vaulted ceilings and partially stone walls. The roof structure includes roughly hewn tie beams and purlins. Despite the extensions and alterations, many features from the early and mid 19th century have been preserved in this house.
