Description
The Limes is a house dated 1702, located on Main Street in Willoughby Waterleys. It is constructed of brick with stone angle quoins and a sill band, topped with a Welsh slate roof. The building is two storeys high and has three bays, featuring a central door that is now in a recently added porch. The windows on either side of the door are three-light casements with transoms, while the doorway has two lights above it, all with gauged splayed brick heads. The gables are coped and topped with ball finials, and there is a central stack that forms a baffle entry. Lean-to structures flank the lower bays, each with a single two-light casement window on both floors. Above the doorway, there is a large stone with the initials TG and small rosettes, marking the date. Attached to the house at one corner is a garden wall that creates a small enclosure in front. This wall is made of brick with stone copings, and the central gate piers feature wide urn-like finials, flanked by sections of wrought ironwork on low brick and stone plinths.
