Description
The Limes is an early 19th-century house located on Hingham Dereham Road. It features a red brick garden front with a hipped slated roof and overhanging eaves. The building is two storeys high and has four large sash windows with glazing bars, topped with flat rubbed brick arches. On the left side, there are two more sash windows with glazing bars and a porch supported by fluted Doric columns, which frames a doorway with an elliptical fanlight and a glazed door. The northern part of the house, which faces the street, is stuccoed and has a pantile roof. This section also has two storeys and four sash windows without glazing bars, along with a large glazed porch. Inside, a room in the northern part of the house features fielded panelling, cornices, and a moulded dado rail.
