Description
The Limes is a house dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed of white brick and features a slated roof. The building is two storeys high and has a symmetrical plan, with brick pilasters at the quoins and the central bay slightly projecting forward. There are three windows, which are sashes with glazing bars set in cased frames, and they are topped with flat brick arches. The central doorway has a six-panel door and a rectangular fanlight, and it is framed by a pedimented portico supported by plain pilasters and columns. The roof is hipped with wide overhanging eaves, and there is an extension on the left-hand side behind a tall parapet wall.
