Lime Tree Farmhouse

Lime Tree Farmhouse is a former farmhouse dating from the 16th century, built in two phases, with remodelling believed to have occurred in the 19th century, around 1812. The building is timber framed and rendered, topped with a slated roof featuring fishscale bands. It is a three-cell house with an additional fourth cell added to the right and stands two storeys tall.

The upper floor has three three-light and one two-light casement windows, all with trefoil Gothic heads. The ground floor features four similar but larger windows. The entrance includes a six-panel door, with the top four panels raised and fielded, and the lower two flush, framed by a rectangular moulded surround. An open timber porch with a pediment, trelliswork sides, and polygonal piers provides access.

Inside, the timbering is fully exposed, showcasing good studding, a middle rail, and long tension braces in one end wall. The ground floor ceilings have main beams with a wide chamfer and cut-off stops, while the joists are plain and unchamfered, except in the room to the left of the stack, where the joists are chamfered and feature broach stops. There are housings for several original diamond-mullioned windows, including one with four lights at the rear. The upper ceilings date from the late 17th century, and the 19th-century shallow-pitched roof reuses some original rafters. An internal stack has a rectangular base made of Tudor red brick and three square white brick shafts set diamondwise, with attached heads, while an external stack is located on the left gable end.
