Description
Lime Tree Farm House is a house dating from the mid-16th century, with alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. It has a timber frame that is plastered, with some brick facing, and features a steeply pitched pantiled roof. The house consists of five bays or three cells and has two storeys plus an attic. There is a 19th-century half-glazed door on the left and a boarded door on the far right. The windows include 3 and 6-light 19th-century glazing bar timber and metal frame casements. A ridge stack is located to the right of the centre. The left gable end is faced in 20th-century brick and has a 19th-century sash window on the first floor. The right gable end features first floor and attic casements, along with exposed plates and purlins.
Inside, the ground floor showcases very close studding, jowled posts, and stop-chamfered cross axial binding beams and joists. On the first floor, there are curved tension braces in the walling, jowled posts with cranked braces to cambered tie beams, and a queen post roof with jowled posts and cranked braces to the collars and arcade plates/purlins. Originally, the roof was hipped towards the road.
