Description
The Limes and Offices Adjoining is a building located on Hall Street in Long Melford. It features a grey gault brick front that dates from the mid to late 19th century, but it is built over an earlier timber-framed and plastered house, likely from the 17th century. The front of the building has a parapet topped with a moulded brick cornice from the 18th century. It stands two storeys high and has eight windows, which are double-hung sashes without glazing bars set in plain reveals, featuring precast stone lintels supported by stub brackets. There are two doorways with semi-circular arched heads adorned with Corinthian pilasters. The roof is tiled and hipped behind the parapet, with two hipped dormers on the front.
