Description
Lime Farmhouse and the attached barn are located in Breedon-on-the-Hill. The farmhouse features a front wing from the mid to late 18th century, which incorporates some older elements but was altered in the mid-19th century. The early 19th-century rear wing creates an L-shaped plan. Attached to the end of the rear wing is a lower range that leads to a cart entry and barn, which originated in the 17th century but was mostly rebuilt in the 19th and 20th centuries.
The front wing of the house has a ground floor made of rubble stone with later brick jambs, while the upper part is constructed of red brick with some glazed headers. The right gable is rendered over rough brickwork. The roof is covered with plain tiles and features a coped gable on the left, along with flanking brick chimneys that have been partially rebuilt at the top. The house is two storeys tall with an attic and consists of three bays. It has corbelled dentil eaves and was remodeled in the mid-19th century, showcasing large sash windows with four panes flanking a three-pane window, and full-height ground floor windows. The flat brick arches above the windows were rebuilt in the 20th century. There is a central 20th-century half-glazed door with a semi-circular fanlight set in a brick header arch, and attic casements in the gables, with the left gable featuring a dentil string.
The rear wing, also made of brick and topped with a tiled roof, has cogged eaves and is two storeys high with two bays of three-light barred wooden casements, featuring cambered window heads. There are two doors to the south. At the far end of the property is a lower outbuilding made of brick, with one post exposed to the roadside, leading to the carriage entry and barn beyond.
The barn consists of two bays of heavy timber framing with diagonal braces and brick infill on the wall facing the road. The remainder of the barn has been rebuilt in brick and features a 19th-century tiled roof. Inside the house, there are old oak board and panelled doors, heavy spine beams, and a large blocked fireplace in the rear wing. The front wing includes a staircase with straight splat balusters leading to the upper flight and two 18th-century board doors to the attic, each labeled "Cheese Roome."
