The Limes

The Limes is a house dating from the 17th century, featuring an 18th-century facade, a 19th-century right wing, and various alterations and additions. It has a timber-framed structure with a painted brick facade and a plastered right range. The roof consists of a double range covered in red plain tiles, with a hipped grey slate roof on the right wing. There are red brick chimney stacks on both the left and right sides of the main range, with an additional stack on the right wing. The building has a parapet and a window arrangement of three sets of small paned vertically sliding sashes, all with gauged brick arches. An enclosed porch has a leaded roof and features a central two-panel, four-light door with a fluted surround, patera, and fascia. Inside, part of the timber frame of the front range is exposed, showing through bracing and stop-chamfered bridging joists. The 19th-century staircase has stick balusters and mouldings on an open string.
