Limesbrook Farmhouse

Limesbrook Farmhouse is a house dating from the early 16th century, with alterations made in the early 19th century. It is timber framed, plastered, and has a roof covered with handmade red clay tiles. The building features a 3-bay range with a long-wall jetty to the south and an axial stack. There is a 19th-century extension to the west and a 3-bay crosswing at the eastern end, which is also jettied to the south and has an external stack on the side. A narrow entrance range from the early 19th century is located to the north of the main range, changing the original south-facing orientation to face north.

The farmhouse is two storeys high. On the north (entrance) elevation, the ground floor has two 19th or early 20th-century sash windows and three 20th-century casements. The first floor features one 19th or early 20th-century sash, one early 19th-century sash with three over six lights, and one sash with 16 lights. A 20th-century door is set in a 20th-century porch. The date 1504 is inscribed in modern plaster. The roof is hipped.

On the south (garden) elevation, the ground floor has one 18th-century 3-light window with a wrought iron casement, two 18th-century windows with three fixed lights, all with rectangular leading, and two 20th-century casements. The first floor includes two 17th-century 3-light windows and one 18th-century 3-light window, all with wrought iron casements. Both jetties are plastered. The interior features chamfered axial and transverse beams, cambered tiebeams, and a beam with billet moulding, along with a crownpost roof in the crosswing. The farmhouse was referred to as the manor of Langbrokes by P. Morant in his 1768 work, The History and Antiquities of Essex, and as Langbrokes in Chapman and Andre's map of 1777.
