Description
The Limes is a house from the early 19th century, refronted around 1834, with early 20th-century additions and alterations. It is built of brick and stucco, topped with slate roofs, and features two gable ends, a single ridge, and a single lateral brick stack. The house has two storeys and three bays, arranged in an L-shape. The front has a rendered plinth, a moulded eaves cornice, and a low parapet.
A central corniced Tuscan portico with a plain doorcase and a six-panelled door is flanked by canted bay windows, each containing three margin light sashes. Above the portico, there are three glazing bar sashes with moulded architraves and louvred shutters. On the garden side, to the left, there is a Doric portico over a French window with an overlight and flanking lights, and above it, a glazing bar sash with louvred shutters. To the right, there is a brick boundary wall with half-round coping and two square piers topped with ball finials, approximately 20 meters long. Further to the right, there is a set-back rear wing with a door on the left and two casements on the right, with four casements above. All openings have segmental heads.
Continuing to the right, there is a single-storey corridor with two 20th-century casements and a 19th-century wood-cased water pump. Further right is an early 20th-century outbuilding with a casement and three doors. On the street side, there is an early 20th-century oriel window and scattered early 20th-century fenestration.
Inside, the sitting room features a Classical marble fireplace, a moulded cornice, and a patterned plaster ceiling. The dining room has a panelled plaster ceiling, an early 20th-century marble fireplace with a wooden surround, and two blank recesses with oval heads to the west. The breakfast room includes an early 19th-century hob grate.
