Description
Lime Tree Farm House is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, which was refronted and altered in the mid to late 19th century and extended in the 20th century. It has a timber frame with a red brick casing, white brick dressings, and parts that are tile hung and plastered. The roof is steeply pitched and covered with glazed pantiles.
The house has a three-cell lobby entry plan and stands two storeys tall. On the ground floor, the entrance is located to the right of the centre within a 19th-century gabled porch that is now blocked. The entrance features a chamfered head with a segmental arched opening and bargeboards. There are three-light transomed 19th-century glazing bar casements set back in stop-chamfered segmentally arched reveals, with similar three-light windows on the first floor. A rebuilt ridge stack has a moulded base and an oversailing cap. The right gable end is tile hung, revealing exposed double purlins.
There is a 20th-century addition on the left end, along with 19th and 20th-century additions to the rear left behind the service bay. The rear elevation has small casements and a ground floor 20th-century addition. Inside, the frame is partially concealed, with close studding, chamfered and stop-chamfered axial binding beams, and reverse curved and straight bracing in the walls. There are also four-light square mullioned window openings.
