Description
Numbers 1, 2 and 3 The Limes form an 18th-century row of three cottages, originally built as four. The cottages are constructed of grey brick with red brick dressings, and have an old clay tile roof with four hipped domers. The buildings are two storeys high with attics. They feature five sash windows with glazing bars, along with two casement windows on the right side, and two dummy windows with flush frames and flat arches. A first-floor band and vertical red brick flush bands are situated between the cottages. A modern shop front has been added to the ground floor on the right side.
